Why not just encrypt the file on the server using a private key and distribute the public key. Then send the encrypted file and the person on the other end would be able to decrypt it. I believe you could use something like GnuPG to do the encryption. Mind you, if you're sending a plain file to the customer's browser, then you no longer have any control over what they do with that information. (Maybe there is some javascript you could use, but that would only work if the browser had javascript enabled.) -- Robert -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Robert James Kaes --- Flarenet Inc. --- (519) 426-3782 http://www.flarenet.com/ * Putting the Service Back in Internet Service Provider * ------------------------------------------------------------------
