If you are trying to restrict *some* files within a folder, you'd need a table somewhere (like in the db, since you already have a db) that tells you which files require login, and then apply the auth mechanisms <URL:http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/09/access-control> and read at least through the group memberships.
If you want a *second* password for particular files, you may be able to use the auth mechanisms, but I haven't played with them enough to be able to give you any details about that. /dps -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
