Downloadable Files
Hopefully this is the appropriate place to ask this. I have my CMS and forum in the public_html folder. In my site I will have downloadable .pdf's for my users to download.
I can't find it now but I read somewhere that there was a difference between storing these .pdfs in a folder outside my root folder, for example in a public_ftp folder versus storing them within my public_html directory in a separate folder.
On occasion I will provide others a link to download the pdf's, what I don't want is for them to be able to just click the link and download. I want them to register with my forum then be able to download the file.
So what are the differences between storing files outside root directory vs within?
