Thanks for this suggestion, that was
what I tried so far:

Put the files in a folder upper the docroot of the website itself so that
they can't be accessed over HTTP and
read data with System.IO to send them with octed stream over
a download page.

Thought there was another way like the idea I had before in this thread.

But I can live with this one :)

Thanks & regards
