Warning: The php.ini usually allows to upload a file of 2 MegaBytes, so if you need to upload a bigger file please upload it manually using your ftp
To protect your downloads from unwanted downloaders we can create a php files that downloads the file for the member while checking if he is logged in and has the proper membership. Another safety measure is that the filename that the member downloads can be made different then the real one. Please take care when inserting the filename for the member to have the same extension as the original file. When using this protection system the files will be uploaded to the folder download on your server. Because of this you have to chmod the folder download to 777. In case you cannot or your hosting is not allowing you to chmod the folder, upload the file manually and click on the "Select file" link in the add new protected download form, that will open a window which will show you a current list of files located in the download folder. Click on the file you want to protect and it's name will be filled in the right textbox automatically. For the php file that will download the file you must have the root folder of the script changed with chmod 777, if again you cannot do that simply check the checkbox that says file will be created manually and set everything else up. Once you add the new protected download you will get the code that needs to be inserted int o the php file and the name it must have. You can then create the file manually and upload it to the root folder of the script. After everything is done simply copy the code from the textbox that says: "Add this html code to the page template where you want the member to click to download or get access to the product or service" and paste it in your html file where you want your download link to appear.
