There might be a better solution than this one for what his goal is, but I don't know what the real goal is in this case.) Oh, I can think of several reasons. The first that comes to my mind is a webbased "ftp-service". Suppose you are a customer that can retrieve some files from a supplier's extranet. You have a user account, and the files you are allowed to retrieve are based on that account. By applying this method, you can verify, that the file requested is actually allowed to be retrieved by the customer before it is sent. - Carsten *<{:^)> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
