Securing your digital files?

[Guest]

Hi,

Firstly, yes, I did do a search but it came up poorly. Anyway, I was wondering how I protect my digital files from being downloaded or edited on my server. Does Cubcart handle this or do I need to make other arrangements myself?

I know you can set the download limit from Cubecart but what other precautions are there?

Thanks.

I'm quite interested to :)

The only real way i know of is to put the fils outside the root & there is a mod to manualy allow downloads through admin for security issues that most modders seem to use (including myself), but this obviously needs to be discussed at cubecartforums instead.

It's been a while since I started with CubeCart, but it seemed pretty clear that the best way to protect digital files was to simply upload them OUTSIDE the public_html folder of your hosting account. That way, the ONLY way anyone can access the files is if they have a valid CubeCart download link.

In fact, right on the Add Product screen, at the bottom is a brief notice about placing files outside the publicly accessible folder.

Awesome! Thanks, guys. I've saved this page for future reference.

Cheers :)
