videosharedirectory namedsecure.cfmand add the following code:<cfif session.userid NEQ 0> <cfinclude template="login.cfm"> <cfabort> </cfif>

session.useridset and makes sure it isn't equal to zero with theNEQoperator. If it is not set, it includes ourlogin.cfmtemplate and then aborts the rest of the rendering of the page. If there is asession.useridset, it will ignore this statement.3. At the top of the
upload.cfmfile, let's call the<cf_secure>tag:<cf_secure> <cf_layout section="Upload Video"> <cfparam name="FORM.title" default=""> <cfoutput> <h1 id="upload_video">Upload...
