Want to hide download path

[Anon]

Im developing a jsp page where there is a directory called downloads and pressing a button in jsp page will initiate the download provided the user cannot see the full download path . also if the user is not logged in he cannot start download .

Please suggest any workaround .
Thanks In Advance

Welll...... this is a PHP forum, but the logic is the same:

  if ($authenticated) {

    header("location: /downloads/your_file.ext");
    exit();
  }

  else {

    // display login form
  }

Convert that to JSP and you should have a starting point.
