Please help me. I am looking for a module for joomla that does the following.

We are a printing company that sends proofs out by pdf, but sometimes the files are too big to mail, so we want to put them on the site for download.

BUT!! not every user should see the other users proofs. I want to assign a secure section to a specific user only. So, once a user signs in, they are redirected only to their own page which will have their links to their proofs.

Is there such a module or plugin?

Thanks in advanced....

I haven't done this yet but i think you can create a section/category and set it so that only special members can see it. After they register you can then assign them as special members. But like i said i havn't tried this yet...just a suggestion. Doubt that you need a plugin or extension to do this.
 
Small admin nightmare. I did something similar but using FTP (vsftp) and virtual users on Ubuntu. You send them message and their stuff is in their "landing" folder.
If you are using Joomla extensions be sure that there is no known exploit for it.
 
I'm not too familiar with Joomla as such, but try the following concept:
1) get a field / (table with joins) for "download urls" for each user
2) then when the invoice is done for user X, the url gets sent into the mysql table for user X.
3) when user logs in, print "table.getURL for user X"

It's a version of Linux and pwns Windows single-handedly. But it's off-topic.
 
DocMan works quite well. You can set permission at different levels.
 
Another option is to give each user-directory a (loooong) name created with random characters. Send the link to the directory to the user.

It is very important that directory browsing is disabled. You dont want other people to see the directories.
