I was wondering if there was anyway to restrict access to certain files
on our website that will be accessible via Stata's "net from http"// ..."
We want to put up ado and do files that can be accessed by a group of
research fellows, but not the general public (as well as, separately,
other files for the general public). The reason we want to restrict
access to some files is that the files do not have general use, being
dependent on specific variables and existing files; and because they
provide
descriptions of research activities and plans that should not be public.
I can see that we might send an encrypted zip file, but then we lose the
useful automatic save to the c:\ado directory. Does anyone have insight
into how we might protect ado/do files within the net from http:// system?
Piece of cake--just put them on a machine within your
corporate/organizational firewall. E.g.
