   * This script relies on the built-in support((in Synchronet v3.20)) for serving files from your filebase using HTTP[S] (e.g. digest) authentication (not cookies).
   * All user exemptions and restrictions, configured file area access permissions, file costs/awards (in credits), and logging are applied to files transferred in this manner.
