Re: Basic Authentication

Thanks for the help, but in fact I don't use authentication to open a file, but I use it for writing in a folder. So, people who are logged in get write access, other people (who are not logged in) can only view the folder. But I'll give it a try with your suggestion. :) Thanks again.
