I would like to set up a page of my website with files that are restricted to only a single user.  I'd like to have the page only display the files that are assigned to the currently logged-in user.  The most important thing is that the site MUST prevent people from being able to access these files by guessing the path.  For example, if Bob has a file at http://www.site.com/files/BobDocument1.doc I need to be able to ensure that Kathy can't get that file by simply typing in the URL.  Other than using a database-storage mechanism for files, I'm not sure how to do this via DNN modules.  I'm open to purchasing a commercial module if necessary, but I haven't been able to identify anything that provides this functionality.  I'd appreciate any help!
