hi all,

As subject tell full story, i want all attachment on my site should be viewed, but should not be downloaded. How is it possible.

Firstly i can change download method to private, but i don't wanna to do this, Some of my module is currently enjoying Public method & on drupal site it is hardly recommended change to private. so i left this idea.
then i put doc xls ppt pdf into .htaccess file ,

# Protect files and directories from prying eyes.
<FilesMatch "(\.(engine|inc|info|install|module|profile|doc|xls|ppt|po|sh|.*sql|theme|tpl(\.php)?|xtmpl)|code-style\.pl|Entries.*|Repository|Root|Tag|Template)$">
  Order allow,deny
  Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

but when i click on attachment link it gives me Forbidden Error about you have no access.

i used Private upload module, but if i give view upload file access to any user, he is able to view file as well as upload the same.
i check Web File Management Module, but it works in another direction. so how can i achieve my goal.
A user only can view attachment file, but can't upload it. is there anyone who has done this?
