You can't use ASP to deny access to files, that is a setting on the web server. You can write an ASP script that will check if someone is logged in and redirect to the appropriate file or read the file and stream it to the user, but ASP can't deny access to the files, that will need to be done using the web server.

It depends on the web server. Check the documentation for your server software on how to deny access or require authentication. The process is usually different for IIS vs. Apache vs. Sun One vs. iPlanet vs. any other server. But, if you deny access to your files then no one will be able to download them. In that case you would want to use some script that could access the file and read it from the server and send it to the client manually. That's pretty easy to do with PHP, but I haven't used ASP to do that.

You can password-protect a zip file. He's just emailing people the password to open the zip file. He might have a program that automatically creates the zip file, generates a random password, and sends it to the user. But all he's doing is setting a password on the zip file (which is a feature of zip files), and emailing the password out, whether he's doing that automatically or manually.

Please tell me "How can I do this? How can I create the zip file. Which programs can create the zip file?"

Winzip, winrar, 7zip, etc. Do a Google search for zip utilities.
