I have added this to my site and what it is, is I was wondering if there is anyway of passwording a category? Or is this not able at the moment?

Thanks

why would you password it why dont you just exclude it?

exclude it? how would I do that?

if you look at say registered users in the usergroup you will see the permissions there you can set. you can say have a movies section and say a games section and you can limit the games to only donators can download

Thanks!
We get so many questions about uploading large files and spend a fair amount of time helping folks with modifying php.ini or .htaccess I really think Jelle and I need to discuss adding an ftp option. That would be a nice option to have available.

Cant you alredy upload the file to the doanloads folder through ftp, and then just link to it? or wony permissions get transfered to it?

Absolutlely, you can always do it that way and, of course, you don't have to put it in the downloads folder unless you want. You can place it in any folder that the web server can access.

RS_Jelle thank you for your answer!

I have another question. Is it possible to move downloads directory outside forum root directory?

Thank you!

Yes, it can be any place you like as long as the web server can access the folder. In admincp -> Downloads -> Settings, you will need to modify the "Download URL" to point to the directory. Remember, this is relative to the forum directory, so if you have a directory structure like this:

• forum
• myfiles/downloads

The value for "Download URL" would need to be "../myfiles/downloads/"

BTW - "Download URL" is a poor name for that variable. It's really "Download Relative Path".

westpointer, thank you very much for your detailed answer!

BTW is it possible to use subdirectories inside download folder accordingly to downloads categories?
