restricting access to log-file

[Nikolaj]

A short and hopefully simple question:
I'm using log4net to log to a text file.
The text file is located in the root of my webapplikation. How do I restrict
access to this file?

Thanks.

I'd store it in a folder above the web root, and then if anyone needs to
download the file, have your asp.net page stream the file to the browser
rather than linking to it directly.

HTH,

Cheers,

Tim.
