Re: Emergency! Performance downloading big files

Can someone explain how this would work? It's a Windows web server running IIS and the files are saved to a drive that is outside the web root. PHP is grabbing each filename from a MySQL database, along with the URL and credentials for it, and ends up with a url something like this: https://server.com?filename=filename.pdf&user=xxx&pass=xxx&something=xxx On Dec 1, 2009, at 2:55 PM, Ashley Sheridan wrote: > Why not put the files behind a secured directory.
