Hello,

We do similar with php and an oracle DB. I'm not sure
if this is overkill but you could stick the files into
a database and protect the sql that shows the files
using your session handling i.e. you've got to login
to see the page(s) that display the
document-display-sql page.
You could do this with php/mysql too
http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/php-mysql-upload.php

I guess you could do similar with ASP and ?MSSQL?

For us this allows only the person who uploaded the
file (applicants) and those allowed (selectors) to see
the files.
