Maximum download means the number of times a person can download a particular files.

 

Like my website, a person can download a template once within 7 days period.

 

You can set how many times a person can download a file after purchasing. Once the maximum reached, the download link is removed from the customer account.

 

You define what file a person can download after buying an item in product attribute.

 

Got it? Reply me if you need help!

Well, yes and no.

No one can give me instructions, because everyone in the world uses different ftp's.

As I understand it, you have to change the go using you ftp.

I open my ftp, and right click on the file I want to change. The only command that I see that MAY change the code is "Custom Command" I typed the numbers in there and hit enter. So I'm hopeful.

 

I hope this helps you.

Just download Filezilla, it's free and you can just right click the folder you need to modify and choose File Attributes.

 

All good...

It depends upon whether you are hosted on a Windows or Unix server. The latter is simple by just using your FTP client and selecting CHMOD (each FTP client has its own way of doing CHMOD, you will need to check the documentation of the FTP client).

Hi!!

You seem to know what you're talking about regarding downloads so i wonder if you can help me??

 

1/ Is there a universal way to change the number of times a person can download a file? (I've a big problem - people with their media players configured to play web content automatically are losing their downloads because i have it set to 1 download on around 5000 files and its going to take forever to go back through and change them all manually one by one!)

 

2/ Mac users are receiving my Mp3 files as .php files and are manually having to rename them after download. looks really bad and I have no idea why this is happening.

 

Can you help me??

 

thanks in advance

 

Terry
