not access to the content of this
folder. Nothing special until now.
Let's suppose
The root folder of my site isC:\MySite
The restricted access folder isC:\MySite\MembersFolder
In the root folder I have the login page C:\MySite\login.cfm
In the restricted access folder and its
access folder isC:\MySite\MembersFolder
In the root folder I have the login page C:\MySite\login.cfm
In the restricted access folder and its subfolders I have various CF pages
e.g.
-- C:\MySite\MembersFolder\page1.cfm ,
-- C:\MySite\MembersFolder\folder2\page2.cfm etc

Place your non-CF files into a non-web folder (say,
C:\SecureFiles\MySite\ or whatever) and then serve those files through a
CF script. For example, perhaps the file request link looks like this:
href=index.cfm?event=file.downloadid=xyz
Then the file.download event checks the session; if
Store them outside of the webroot and use cfcontent to serve them to the
browse when necessary.
Some people have no access to folders outside the webroot.
In that case, one solution is to :
1. register all files in your database with their original name and type
(pdf, doc, etc.)
2. store any
Nice solution for those in hosted environments, Claude! Simple and
effective!

Well, all these solutions fit in case that we want to restrict access to pdf or
doc etc files which after login we serve them as a page.
What could be done when the files, we want to restrict access to, are PART of a
web (cfm) page ?
I mean, in the restricted folder after login I display cfm
any other idea without cfcontent ?
Nope.
Any solution to give access or not must be based on some CF code to
abort the request
if the user has no access, or send the document if he has.
And the proper tag for CF to send the document is CFCONTENT.

cfcontent can server up any type of web content including image
files. You would just put the name of the cfm template that contains
the cfontent tag into the img href=... property. Then

Your example was not quite the same as the Adobe example. They had
reset=yes in their cfcontent tag.
Try that with yours. It is especially important with binary data like
an image file, to not have any extraneous white space that may be
hanging around in the cfm file. The reset=yes

Ian,
I used reset=yes but no luck. When I run test.cfm and view source I see

Any idea how can I restrict access to any kind of content (htm, cfm, pdf,

etc) using coldfusion ?
As many have mentioned, you can store them in a directory that isn't
web-accessible, and serve them with CFCONTENT.
Another alternative is to store them as mentioned above, but use

I can't use them in img src=... either. I think cfcontent can't help in
this case.
Sure it can. CFCONTENT can be used to serve any sort of file you want.
All an IMG tag does is tell the browser to make
