My Requiremenst are as follows
1] put up multiple files on my website in various formats ie .pdf, .doc .zip
etc
2] allow users who authenticate successfully to download a particular file.
3] I dont want anyone to be able to register n create a user Id & download
these files. Instead I would want users to send me a request thru a form on
my website, I will then verify thru other methods (such as phone call or
personal contact) if the user is the one what he claims to be.
4] After verifying the user info in the form, I would want to give him
access to a particular file within a time frame, & notify the same to the
user via an email.

Things I have Done till now.
1] My web site & the file to be download are ready
2] I have a form putup on my website that store the users request info in a
text file.

I now wish to do the remaining things. How do I do it.
1] After verifying the info I would want to send an email to the user giving
him an link to download the file, ofcourse the user will need to provide UN n
Pwd
2] The download should only work for a limited period

Requires custom Server side scripting and a DB
- they method depends on what your host supports
