Assuming IIS, turn off "anonymous access", which will force them to log in
as a user that has permission to reach the file they reqested. I believe you
can then use $_SERVER['LOGON_USER'] or something similar to find out their
username. (This also assumes an NTFS file system, but that should already be
in place).
It's the same as restricting access to any other file on Windows using the
security settings. You remove the "Everyone" user and give access to either
specific users or groups.
If this is confusing or I wasn't clear on something, feel free to ask more
questions.
