Download management

[hc3d]

How do you download a file from a secure directory in php? I send from flash to php with…..

1 file path and name of file
2 username and password for secure directory

flash is not the problem cant get my php to access the directory. Also is this safe? A good way to manage downloads. Running out of hair to pull out with this problem.

Thanks for any input on this

lets start small... Do I need to copy the file to temp download directory or can I download from the secure directory? With just php ignore the flash part.
