Thread: allow visitors download file only if they registered with my site...

I would like to know how to make people sign up first then download catelog on my page. I know that there's a "password protect directory" in my cpanel but I don't know how does it really works...
1. new user: sign up and submit required info
2. exiting user: sing in /password --> download file.

OR
if this is not possible, I want to at least have them provide me with their name and email address before they download the catalog so I can keep them in my record to do follow up.

Thanks!

Your best bet is to install one of the cms' fantastico has to offer. I know a few of them have download managers where you can limit the downloads to registered users only

Hello thank you for your help. I've got in to my cpanel and clicked on the fantastico, but there are so many options in there, and I was really confused. Could you give me some adivse...
Thanks!
