    Risk in storing files in the App_Data folder?

    Is there any risk in storing files (pdfs mostly) in the App_data folder? they're being written by authorized members and it seems like an easy way to protect files from public access...

    Thanks!

    HI Amir,

    No risk since IIS will block direct access. You need to write a proxy or something to get the pdf's out there and serve it to the user. If you want you end users to maintian those PDF's you might want to checkout my MediaProtect package which protects media in the same way you protect content in Umbraco.

    Cheers,

    Richard
