    Upload PDFs to a folder

    Hello,

    I'm fairly new to Umbraco and I'm having some trouble finding out how to secure some PDF files and only allow certain member groups to view the PDF's.  What I have done before trying Umbraco is to put them in a folder and use wildcard mapping to secure the files.  Is there a way to create a media type for these PDF's that would have an upload data type that I could create which would store all of the PDF's in a single folder inside the  Media folder?  I am not sure how to create this type of uploader and would appreciate any help that you could offer. 

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    Welcome to umbraco, Andrew!

    There's no built-in way to protect media nodes. But there's a Protected Media project that might be just what you're looking for. http://our.umbraco.org/projects/protected-media

    cheers,
    doug.

    Just a post for everyone who is interested.

    I've just released a media protect package, which allows you to protect media in the same simple way as you protect content in Umbraco. No additional configuration needed. Just install the package and it works.

    Check out the projects page for more info and a fully functional trial download.

    Cheers,

    Richard
