how to make random temporary links to permanent files

[aspenjim]

How can I make a temporary link to permanent files on my server (so as to not give the real links away)?

I'm using sbs 2008 for a server.

in other words if I have file.exe on my server and want to issue someone a random temp link to it like http://domain.com/abcdefghijklmopqrtstuvwxyz.exe that expires in a couple days..

im not sure, just throwing out a possible solution, run a cron job that randomly generates a string and then renames that file.

I don`t have a real solution for that.

But I know some websites change just the foldername, not the filename.

Example: ftp://root/2009.10.10/myfile.exe

Next day: ftp://root/2009.10.11/myfile.exe

If you have established a web presence and would like to change your domain to a new address, it is best not to just abandon your old domain. Bookmarks to your site and links to your site located on other pages throughout the internet will break if your content disappears without any instructions to the browser about how to find its new location. Changing domains without redirecting will cause your site to lose traffic from previous visitors and older links.
