About

VWM Secure Files allows you to restrict access to files based on a given members group and/or member ID. It includes a module and and a simple fieldtype component.

What it Does

Assume you have the super secret file confidential.txt in the folder /secret_documents. Normally, anyone can go to http://example.com/secret_documents/confidential.txt to download your file.

With VWM Secure File (and some .htaccess help) you can lock this file down so only certain people can download your secure file. The URL to access the file even becomes masked to look something like http://example.com/?ACT=2&ID=7d4fb3c3517888bbc06eaa57b3f02788.

The Future

This module will most likely change quite a bit once EE 2.2 comes out.
