UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6.4 - 6.7 Modifications V6 Mod Ideas Any way to use UBB to access secure files?

I'm using the UBB for a client extranet, and some of my clients are concerned about the security of the projects we're developing for them. Currently, all forums are password-protected. However, once you're in the forum, you can see the projects we're working on, view the source, and then send that URL to another person. That person can then view the project directly.

SO: is there any way that I can put all project files in a secure directory, a directory to which the server will not allow access, UNLESS the user is currently logged into the UBB?
I sort of want to make a directory that's accessible to the UBB script, but not external users.

I apologize if this is already posted about, but I checked the forums & DB, and didn't find it ...

THANKS!

well it should work to put a .htaccess file in the dir you want to protect and have it deny from all ips except for the server ip...
