once he know about the file names he can directly enter the name in Address bar
then the form will work with errors.
How to control this. the User never ever Get a chance to enter into the form
through entring the file name. I hope some had a solution

I'm assuming that you want to force a user to log in to be able to download a file off the server. You can use NT Security on the files... this is done by changing the permissions on the files themselves and changing the settings in IIS for the directory they reside in. Or, you can insert the files into a database. But this way you have to write an application to insert the files into a binary blob field in your database software.

Hope this helps.
