Restrict access to a directory, for every user

Hi,

I've got a web application running and i want to avoid users from
downloading my pdf files by blocking them the access to that
directory.

The problem is i must to it programmatically because it will be part
of an automatic functionality in the near future.

I've already tried using:

<authorization>
<deny users="?">
</authorization>

within an overridden web.config located in that directory, but it
didn't work. The users are not windows', they're just users of the web
site.

Could anyone help me?

Thanks,

Brian
