Hide my url

Hi,

how can I hide my download url so that nobody can go directly to my www.mysite.com/dloads/setup.exe?

ty

<?php

header("Location: setup.exe");

?>

Will redirect without anything being displayed, so users can not trace the file. Though they will have to filename.

How can i do this using an html form that this happens when he hits the submit button?

form action -> the file below with file name..


e.g.
<form action="download.php?file=setup.exe">
(or however it is)

<?php

header("Location: /download/$file");

?>

maybe...?


haven't tested it

or as a link

<a href="download.php?file=setup.exe">Download</a>

In Download.php:

<?php

header("Location: /download/$_REQUEST[file]");

?>
