Logging in automatically with permissions in code to retrieve text from file

Ok never mind ... figured out a way to secure them somewhat so they at least cant be downloaded ...

Basically i made them ASP pages .. even though I am just opening them as text files in the code ..
at the top of each one i create i put an include to another ASP page which does a check if the page is ever loaded or hit ... (eg like if someome tries to tear the page also)
Basically that include simply does a response.end and Response.Status = '404 Not found' so it wont download .. or be viewed .. tested using a winsock exe tear app i wrote.

So when i need to retrieve the text from those pages in my asp code, i just replace the Include file line with '' ...
but when tearing the page they never get the text to replace anything ... so its safe enough for what i need in this case.
They should never find the folder the files are in to start with but its just in case ..

Hi, i have some text files I read from ... i was wondering if there is a way to set permissions on the folder so to read the text file need to login .. but do the login through the code ...

Any ideas?
thanks
