[BNM] php: hide file (an msi) URL

[Jason Bailey]

Hello

I seem to remember a way of making a downloadable file available 
temporarily/once only via a random string/token in php.

We want to make some files (MSIs-installers) available for download to 
members of staff. We want to be able to automatically generate and send a 
link which does not reveal the true location of the file and not be 
available again (after download). A page will be provided which needs to be 
authentication and a link will then be available. I'm sure I remember 
reading something about this and the file would look like it had a randomly 
generated name??

This might not be perfect but it might deter the casual user.

Does this ring a bell to anyone; how it can be done? Any suggestions? I 
hope to use php. Any other suggestions?
