Password Protected Files and Usage Tracking

[highflya]

Hi,

I've setup a standard password protected directory to hide quite a few files from the general public. For the authorised users I have given them a generic username and password

However I am in need off a way off tracing who has actually accessed a particular file.

So I guess it would be best if I setup a database and create the numerous users , however leave the password blank until they sign-in and they create the password themselves , then from there their usage is tracked and recorded into a CSV or something something similar

Does anybody have any ideas or know off a script which might help

Thanks in advance

Set up the users, assign them a password. Allow them the ability to change their password.
