OOPS! That's way over my pay grade. But I can sniff around from there.

Thanks.

This requires either a custom made script or a PayPal IPN listener script.

In both cases some PHP knowledge is required to create a download or to make download.

Can I do the following with BlueVoda?

A lot of people such as myself would like to know how to generate a single password/code number so they can sell a single cop of an eBook. Each person who pays would bet a number, never the same for another person, and they can d/l their copy.

Re: How to create a download

There are two ways to allow customers to upload files and make download

1. Allow him FTP access. You will need to create a folder for the uploaded files, and also create a ftp account, limited to that folder (else he will gain access to all of your site). However, a bad idea if you don't personally know your clients as they could upload malicious code and take over completely your site.

2. Create a form, with one (or more) upload fields. Use Advanced BlueVoda Form Processor to process the form. ABVFP will upload the files in the specified folder, and will also send you an email with the files attached. You can also make the upload older have some strange name instead of the usual "uploads" so that no one will know the location where the files have been uploaded.

Ok General. Thanks for that. Now how do I get the ftp to work for my customer's uploads, so I can get his files when he's ready? I really need this one two. BTW, the download ftp works great. I tried it with a 15 meg ftp download.

Hi Laura,

this is probably because your document is inside a protected folder. Make sure it is inside a "free" folder, and it will create a download just fine.

Do I need to set my permissions to something different?

Re: How to create a download

Question. How do you upload a document without having people having to use my control panel username/password to actually view it? I've uploaded a word document to my site, but when you click on it, it asks for my user/password. I don't want it to be password protected.

Great You can also ad it to button and it works perfect.

It means that your link is wrong.
