The Download Director allows you to manage and log what files are being downloaded from your server, and who is downloading them. It will log the date, time, IP address, their site URL, filename downloaded, and whether the user would like to be notified of any updates.
The key point of Download Director is to keep in touch with customers that are downloading software from your server, and to restrict others from linking to files on your server.
All of the files you want users to download are placed in one directory. They are stored above your web server directory, so they cannot be downloaded without going through the download script. When the user fills in their information and clicks the download button, the server will link to the file in a directory that is below the web server directory. Then the user is redirected to the new directory automatically.
After you edit the script, upload it to your cgi-bin directory. To download a file, call it like this:
http://www.yourserver.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi?filename=downloadname.ext
Just replace downloadname.ext with the filename you want to download. Make sure that file exists in your download directory, otherwise you can't download it.
Thank you for your quick response, and the obvious knowledge you have about the possible solutions. Your suggestion enabled the program to work immediately.
I think you hear ma few complaints but I herewith send you BIG COMPLIMENTS for the software package which you offer, and for your professionalism in customer support. I find the price unbelievably inexpensive and the support better than normal from companies who offer software at +$1,500,00.
Thank you for this great value and for your software contribution, which opens doors for the layman in the high tech world.
Yours,
