    I can’t give you specific step by step instructions, because they would vary too much depending on your environment, but the general idea is to use the secure documents feature to prevent people from knowing the real location of your files. That feature is described here.

    I would suggest these instructions, though whether you’re on windows or linux as a host has something to say about it:

    1) Store your embedded documents in a folder on your web site that isn’t linked to from anywhere, and known only to you. Do not password protect this folder, or GDE won’t work.

    2) Use the secure documents feature (by default profile="2" in your shortcode) eo embed the documents in a way where they can’t be downloaded and their true location is hidden.

    3) Optionally add that folder to your robots.txt file to prevent any search engine from locating the files or indexing them if they are found. (not applicable to windows/IIS)
