From what I heard, the glaciers and the north pole will melt, and the

thinking of another catastrophe...

well that is true but My boss wants to put some training .ppt on net
but doesn't want anyone to download them. thats all
so is there any way that i can do it from server.
If that's really the case, tell your boss to put the files on his own
webserver, where he denies access to anyone apart from himself.

I use a login with username and password up front. Then only persons with
appropriate credentials get access to specific files. All sorts of
filtering can be done that way. I have a SQL table containing userID's
and like 10 different access items per user.

Bjorn

So it means that the PPT files are actually not just stored on the server,
but have to be displayed to someone, do I understand correctly? In that
case, in order to be displayed, they need to be downloaded first.

In that case, Bruce Barker's suggestion is the only possible way.
A PDF version could be viewed by anyone, and the full PPT may be downloaded
by users with correct credentials. But even with a PDF view it will be hard
to prevent copying, at least the printscreen will be there.

files on server. then next question is how to show ppt files so that
user can just enjoy the ppt files but can't download.
I hope u understads it.

The point which *you* don't seem to understand is that everything which is
displayed in a browser is downloaded to the client machine... That includes
the HTML, JavaScript, binaries etc... If you don't want a file to be
downloaded to the client machine, don't show it in a browser - it really is
as simple as that...

This question comes up fairly regularly, most often in the case of people
who are selling images e.g. photographs via their website - people need to
see the photos so that they know what they're buying, but if they can just
right-click the image and do Save As, they will have no incentive to buy...

Another interesting statement you make is "My boss wants..." - often bosses
can benefit from a bit of expectation management... I suggest you go through
this thread with your boss and try to explain why his / her requirements are
unrealistic...

Finally, what are you (or your boss) *actually* worried about here...? What
will happen if one of your PowerPoint presentations is downloaded...?

thanks for the big replay and understanding my point. if that is the
case what about the videos shown online are those downloadable ? I
guess they are not? Am I right or wrong in that case?
I mean from youtube you can make ur video clip private
Can I use this tech in some how

Hello all: I'm trying to make an EPS file available for download on the Web. I've got the proper instructions posted for right-clicking, etc. for IE and Netscape, Windows and Mac. The problem I'm running into is that when you right-click the link and select "Save Target As. . ." in IE, the file shows up in the "Save As" window as a PS (PostScript) file, and it shows up at a lower resolution than the EPS file that I posted.
