download file protect

Hi,
how to do this:
the page is to be able to allow a user to enter a password so as to download
documents. It does not meant for any users to download. It is for some
specific users. What I want is to send them a password through email,
but I want to know who's has downloaded.
Please adivce. thanks...

store the file outside the WWW path and stream it to the client after you
validate them.

what will be the usual way to validate them? Can I use a client script
instead? Thanks.

no, you will have to store the user/pass in a db/file/etc, or use windows
auth.
There are a bunch of sample on that out there. It will have to be SERVER
side though, otherwise the people could just doa VIEW-SOURCE and see the
credentials
