Hi, I'm trying to make a class webpage for my school. The school
website has a series of audio files that associate with our lectures
that are accessible when users type in their user\pass in a login
prompt. I want to link to these files and allow students to access
them without having to navigate through the school's complicated web
system. However, when I login to the school's system and copy the URL
from the properties of each link to my webpage, it allows me to
download these files off my webpage WITHOUT being prompted for a
user\pass. I tried deleting cookies, etc, but it still doesn't prompt
for a user\pass. Obviously this is a security flaw in their system
that allows users to simply copy the URL and access protected content
on their site without being prompted for a user\pass. I'd like a
user\pass prompt to appear when users click on my URL links. They
cannot access the content directly because there are some legal
restrictions to doing that. Anyone have any idea what I need to do
now?

The basic URL layout is like this:

http://xx.schoolwebsitename.edu/20+ random
digits/courses/1/audiorecordings/audiofilename.wma

How the hell do I make it prompt me for a user\pass to access this
content between our sites?

I would appreciate ANY help!
Thanks!
