Secure Folders

Hello all,

I have created a secure folder on my web server and created a user and
password that can access it.  So when you navigate to a page/file within
this folder the login box appears.  Here's my question:

From a link on a form (outside the secure folder), can you send the user
name and password using code to access a page/file in the secure folder,
thus suppressing the login box?

I'm using ASP.NET  (.NET Framework 2.0)

TIA

Tim

No, you cannot.

Does anyone have any idea the method that should be used to secure from
un-authorised downloads of files?

I do have ASP.NET application and I am not using Authentication
(authentication mode="None").  Would this be the only method if I did use
Forms Authentication?
