You know when you upload say audio to your web space. Anyone can download them if they type in yourdomain.com/file.mp3. Is there a way of stopping this? I've only know of one way to web protect a file and that was a feature of a single host.

Any help would be great :)

Yes, quite right. Thought it looked wrong, I think too much CounterStrike has fried my brain. I pressed 'y' to type a message in MSN the other day...

Do you mean .htaccess?

Also, check your host uses Apache before exploring this route - otherwise it's pointless!

Look up .htdocs access, you can allow or deny access using that, and it's a universal server protocol thingy.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
