Inline Downloads 1.0

[Vidiot_X]

Hi,

Working for me.

Is there a way I can have a file for download in a folder that is not available publicly? Maybe using .htaccess? Right now I am using a password protected FTP for my beta team but it would be nice to have files in a secure hidden location only available to registered members so that the link cannot be shared. Hope that makes sense.

Any, your plugin rocks!

Setting the permissions for the forum the downloads are in doesn't work?

Hi,

Well I think that is all cool for example I have a hidden forum that the plugin's forum ID is set to. It is the exposure of the download link I am worried about. A situation were once the link location is known it can be passed to non-registered users. So although only registered users can with the right permissions view the forum and download the file there is a potential for the files location to be exposed.

What I would like to do is make sure that files are only accessible through the forum. One I idea I might try is to enable leach protection which should not allow off site access to a 'zip' file for example and would (I think) stop any downloads of a 'zip' file not within a on site forum page.

Basically I want to limit access and keep unauthorized downloads from occurring.

But there is no download link? If a user can't see the thread he can't download.

Hi,

Tiz true there is no link listed (just the download button) but once you download the file you can retrieve the files link/location in say Firefox by right clicking on the file in 'downloads' and selecting 'copy download link'. What I am trying to avoid is someone posting that link and causing a bunch of off site downloading by unauthorized or unregistered users. As I understand it you have to supply a link to your plugin (external) so I hope I am doing that right.

Really it's my issue and not your plugins fault at all and I am just trying really to avoid excessive bandwidth usage.

Thanks,

Not when you upload the downloads as attachments instead of a link.

Aww,

Wow! I read the 'readme' file and it was pretty sparse so I did not know. I just assumed 'Link' was the only option.

Absolutely brilliant!
