direct download of files vs web service app

Patino

I am new in the world of asp.net for mobile devices. And I have here a
design question for you.

I need to develop a web app. for the PocketPC (IE in the PPC),
password protected, where the user will be taken directly to download
a file, of almost 900 Kb. This is a CAB file for a PPC app. that will
be saved somewhere in his PDA so that he can install later.

The web site will be hosted in a server that is currently running a
public web site that is also accessed via proper credentials.

I read somewhere that because of the problems with firewalls and
security issues, it is better to 'download' this CAB file not by
directly accessing its folder in the web, but by wrapping the
'download' in a web service application method. That is, the web app.
will show a link "Download your CAB" and this link will talk to some
web service that will connect to the main server and get the CAB file
for the user.

What do you think is a better approach? And why?
To me, a direct link to the folder where the CAB file resides is
easier and straight forward; why bother with the web service method
then?

I am developing with .NET 2005.

Please your replies will be very welcome!!!!!
Thanks in advance.

If your precious healthcare reform bill was actually the progressive
panacea you hoped it was it should've passed a year ago. Your Messiah
has both house of congress and the full backing,cover and support of
the state run media. The Republicans didn't have the numbers to stop
ANYTHING Obama/Pelosi wanted to shove down our throats. The
progressives STILL don't have the votes so they'll just by-pass the
Constitution and shit on the American people. This is only the
beginning of what they'll attempt in the next 6 months.
