Thanks all,<br><br>I finally solved it by using WAFileDirectory, its usage is so simple it didn't occur to me it could work like that! <br><br>After talking to the client it seems it's no big deal if the files can be accessed from the browser (I thought it would be), as you would still need to know their exact path, and these tend to be pretty cryptic in their case... Still, if a file leaked it'd be strictly inside the organisation.<br>
<br>Anyway, thanks a lot for all the options, I'll consider them if I ever come across the same problem again!<br><br>Going off-topic, I've got to say that small communities are the ones with the best "live" support. I mean, where else do you get answers to your particular problems from the people whose books you've been reading?<br>

</div>Not so fast. You can put them in a folder above docroot and then use<br>
mod_xsendfile [1]. That uses the sendfile() system call to let the<br>
kernel deliver the file. That's a about as efficient as it gets, the<br>
data won't even touch user space.<br>
