Restrict access to a static page until logged in.
 

Guys, is there anyway to restrict access to a static page. I am not sure how to do this but I offer some free files that can be download from within a static page, how do restrict access to the download files until the customer logs in? How and where should I store these files to prevent them from being downloaded using a web crawler of just linking to the page. I want the customer to go to the website to see the products and not just download the free stuff the easy way. I want to offer the free designs to customers that only have an account with login.

Thanks in advance to all that take the time to help us new people.

use an if statement

{if $login ne ''}
the static page
{else}
the page to display when logged in
{/if}


and disable hotlinking using htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www.)?your-domain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(thefileextension|theotherfileextension)$ - [F]
