Body
I think, by default, the user will be able to download the file either way, from a webroot file path or from a /controller/action path. But this is easy to overcome, with a couple of security implementations. NOTE: in my opinion, if you're using Authorization of some sort, you should hash based on their ['User']['id'] instead of their IP <pre><code>/** * Action to download special assets * example link to download <?php echo $this->Html->link('Link Text', array('action' => 'download', Security::hash('filedownloadsalt'.date('d').env('REMOTE_ADDR')), $filename), array('escape' => false)); ?> * example URL to download <?php echo $this->Html->url(array('action' => 'download', Security::hash('filedownloadsalt'.date('d').env('REMOTE_ADDR')), $filename)); ?> * @param string $hash * @param string $filename */ function download($hash=null, $filename=null) { // check to ensure that the input hash is specific to this user and created today if (Security::hash('filedownloadsalt'.date('d').env('REMOTE_ADDR'))!=$hash) { $this->Session->setFlash("Sorry, you are not allowed access to this asset"); return $this->redirect(array('action' => 'failure')); } // check to ensure referrer URL is on this domain if (strpos(env('HTTP_REFERER'), env('HTTP_HOST'))===false) { $this->Session->setFlash("Sorry, you must access this asset from within my site, not directly"); return $this->redirect(array('action' => 'failure')); } // now get the asset $filenameParts = explode('.', $filename); $filenameExt = array_pop($filenameParts); $filenameBase = implode('.', $filenameParts); $this->view = 'Media'; $params = array( 'id' => $filename, 'name' => $filenameBase, 'download' => true, 'extension' => strtolower($filenameExt), 'path' => APP . 'files' . DS, // don't forget terminal 'DS' 'cache' => true, ); $this->set($params); } </code></pre>

1. COthanks for your code, but it looks like it works if I want to place files in a folder for download. I just want the flash player to find them in another folder...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
