limiting access to files with asp.net

is there any way i can make a file only accessible to certain users of my
website? my files are to large to copy to a temp directory and they are of
many types, .exe .xsl .xml etc. i want an href to each file but only allow
users who have the right login-info in their session variable to get to the
files in their directory. is there something built into .net for doing this?
do i need to do some kind of isapi filter and then stream them?

This has nothing to do with SMTP or NNTP servers.

That said, the solution is covered in this month's IIS Insiders article:
