DBMan opening file from password protected directory?
How can I get DBMan to open an html file from a password protected directory? (protected using .htaccess/.htpasswd) Can I do this? or do I need to have DBMan create the .html file on the fly?

The file is a list of links to client specific reports. These reports change each month and the names aren't static. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for your help!

Do you mean have Dbman read a flat file or do you really mean html?

I get the feeling that the best way to give dbman access to the protected folder is to have them in the same folder.
Maybe in a subfolder to the protected folder as well would work.

I think that is how it is typically done, might be another way.

The file I want to retrieve is an html file that lists client specific .pdf files that they can view or download (current reports) I've decided to build the html within DBMan and create a link to the .pdf files -- this will force us to use a standard naming convention for the reports each month and not keep months and months of old stuff on the website. However, I still want to password protect the directory where the .pdf files live.... I'll try using a subdirectory under a main password protected directory, that's a good idea. Thanks!
