Hi, I have a multisite drupal. I set all drupal sites with a private download because some of the sites are private.
When I try to download a file upload in a CCK, with private downloads, it don't work; but when I try with public downloads, it work.

Did I misconfigured something?

I haven't developed or tested private files support. So you haven't misconfigured anything. Its just not an existing feature yet.

I currently have a site running filefield with private files enabled. Don't know if there has been a recent fix or if it just works by default.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know.

I would like to see this too. Im in the process of figuring out how to do this, myself. If I come up with a patch, I'll be sure to post.

Thanks

Analogous to the conceptually similar patch for imagefield, here's a patch to make private downloads work by clearing the field's session variable after storing the file.

Please review and apply (the patch is for HEAD).

Committed to HEAD. Filefield should now work with private downloads in all situations.
