Download file programatically?

[Steve C. Orr [MVP, MCSD]]

You should use something like Forms Authentication to be sure you know who
is requesting the file download.
Here's more info:

You can store your files in a database or a secured directory on your
server. Then you can use Response.WriteFile to output the file
programatically.

Does anybody know how to start a download programatically but first check
who is actually downloading the file?
