Wondering if someone could advise on the best way to tackle this.
The media section of a current site has the following structure, where each product has a
zip files sub folder, which will contain one or more zip files.
Meida - Products -- Product One ---Zip Files -----Zip One -- Product Two
---Zip Files
-----Zip Two ...
A media picker is used to select a zip file and is displayed via an xslt. A loginview is used to control access to members of a particular group:
This is working fine, but if a members knows the URL, then they can
download the zip file. I know it may not be possible for a member to
guess the URL, but I would like to protect against this.
Looking
at previous posts, a lot of the answers seem to work on adding all
protected media to one folder. If possible I would like to use the above
structure.
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
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.

Thanks in advance

Hi Eddie,
Have you taken a look at the Protected Media package? Not 100% about its compatibility with Umbraco v4.5 - but its definitely worth looking at!
Cheers, Lee.
Hi Lee,
Thanks for the pointer, just opened a new topic under the project.
Thanks again
