Tips to Protect Your Downloads or Products
1. Upload robots.txt file in to your root directory and include the folder name where you set your downloads. More information on how to set robots.txt: http://www.webmasters-central.com/wp/se/robotstxt.shtml 2. Set the permission of the download folder to 711 OR upload an index file to that folder. This makes that folder web inaccessible. For example create a folder named 'test'. Usually by default it will be chmoded to 755 or 777. Put some files like test.htm, test1.htm. Now you type the URL of the folder - yourdomain.com/test/ What will you see? You will see the folder /test with its files in it. Now upload an index file or chmod the folder to 711. Now access the URL. You will see index file or permission denied error. 3. Name the download folders something like 'CDf54eS'. Not like 'downloads' or 'products' etc. 4.

For this you need a cgi script that controls your members access based on days, ip address or number of accesses. http://www.scripts4webmasters.com/ipppro/index.html This script also protects your thankyou.html pages and expires them after certain time. 5.
