Looking for a way to hide the source of downloadable files

Question

I'm building an internal site with the main function of serving up software downloads. One thing I want to guard against though, is people finding the source paths and circumventing the site (the site logs the download for auditing.)

Is there a way to conceal the source of the binaries? (I'm using ASP.NET)

Answer 1

The best way to do this is to place the files in a directory that is inaccessible from the web, and then load the files dynamically.
