Hi guys,

How do you keep your download page secret and even keep people from going back to download it again?

Do you have to buy one of those softwares or is there an other way, some little script you can use?

Thanks

    One way is to use a script which allows you to password protect the page. Then limit the number of times they can access it.

    I wrote a script using PHP and a MySQL database to accomplish this for a requirement that I recently had.

    It only allowed the download to occur if certain conditions were met without revealing the location of the files.

    A service you may want to check out is eJunkie - http://www.e-junkie.com/ . It hosts and protects your downloads and integrates with PayPal.

    If you want to give them a try Google first for a coupon- often they have an offer for several months free. Even without a coupon they are just around 5 bucks a month.

    I would try to have a floating div somewhere with a link to the file. That should prevent them from downloading the thing twice via a back button.

    Why prevent them from downloading twice? If they downloaded it the first time, they can copy and paste and have 2 copies!
