Private downloads configuration
briantes - July 16, 2009 - 16:50
Hello. I've activated private downloads and it works fine, renaming the url. The problem is that I can't put the files directory on a private directory due to my host server. With PHP, I can only access to published directories, and then I can't put my private directory in other path.
How could I create a directory for private downloads not accesible with http urls, but in the public directory? is it possible?
Thanks in advance.

You're better off not using the private file system at all. You can protect files while using the public file system a couple of ways:
I use the third option and it works great.
