Alyssa411 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Hello, I understand that CC6 doesn't allow putting digital download files outside the public_html. I'm wondering how we would secure them from bots, especially since the bad bots ignore robots.txt Thanks everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havenswift-hosting Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Files are uploaded to the public_html/files directory which is protected via the .htaccess file found within that directory Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 CubeCart also allows you to enter a very specific location for the file. The text entry field is the Custom File Path at the bottom of the Digital screen. You can enter an absolute server path, such as: /users/websites/a/alyssa/other_than_public_html/hidden_downloads/digital_file.pdf (CubeCart finds and feeds this file to the customer) Or you can enter a fully-formed web address, not necessarily located at your main hosting provider, such as: http://cdn.giftsByAllyssa.com/digital_file.pdf (which would need to be secured by some means) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
