ok - I finally got my download links to work correctly.

The files (zip files) to download are in a 'secure' folder off of the site root.

The link is in the format :

http: // www.web_site_name.com / store_virtual_dir_name /LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=56dtWsm6vs%fa

The links work well.

The link still works well even after you sign out!

There is no security, just replacement of the actual path to the file name.

How am I able to secure the file???

Hello,

Using the DNN file manager create a "Secure File System" folder to store your electronic products. The files within this directory will have .resources appended to the filename. The secure file system prevents hackers from downloading your soft goods directly using a browser as IIS and Asp.Net will not allow .resources files from being downloaded.

In order to generate the download link for your soft goods that you have secured using the secure file system you need to utilize the DNN LinkClick.aspx file processor to serve the file up which makes it possible for you to set the file view permissions to restrict the viewing to just authenticated users or any other selected role. Once you generate the DNN linkclick url just cut and paste the url to the download url field in the Smith Cart product setup screen and your electronic products will be fully protected.

We also offer The Gatekeeper Download Manager which is a companion program developed to work with Smith Cart and provides additional levels of security for your electronic products. For more info about this module please see the User's Manual at the following link: https://www.smith-consulting.com/pd/P...

Features include:
  • Anti-piracy features for electronic products
  • Velocity Checks - number of times and/or number of days to allow file to be downloaded by a recipient
  • PDF Watermarking/Stamping - Stamp every page with pre-defined fields from the order. Stamps are secure and cannot be removed.

Thanks,
