OctoberCms viewing protected files

How can I view protected file in OctoberCMS? Going to its link throws a 404 error. Is there any way to view, download or show the file?

I've uploaded the file like what the manual said:

public $attachOne = [
    'resume' => ['System\Models\File', 'public' => false]
];

hmm, actually you can not show that file using direct URL as we know this is protected file. so it can not access directly from URL

So proper way is to read file from disk and show it to user or allow user to download it.

October CMS provides elegant way to do it echo $file->output();

First you need to have protected file file ID or its relation

Then you can defined CMS page with url /show-file/:id which will hold logic for showing file.

This page will accept candidate id as id and show his resume to him/user or allow user to download it.

Now in that page code section

use YourPlugin\Models\Candidate;
function onStart() {    

    $candidateId = $this->param('id');

    // do some validation with $candidateId if you really want to show file or not , 
    // may be compare to current login user etc .. here    

    // if all ok then
    $candidate = Candidate::find($candidateId);
    echo $candidate->resume->output();
    exit();

}

echo $candidate->resume->output(); will add all necessary headers for file automatically and user can view or download file

reference: author also refereed this thing https://octobercms.com/forum/post/download-file

if you find any issue please comment.
