downloadable products questions

Recommended Posts

I have a downloadable product like images, mp3 etc. I understand that os commerce stores all downloadable products in /download folder with 777 so that anybody can go to the folder directly and download without paying.

Is it still true?

There are steps you can take to prevent this. First of all, you can change your permissions. Secondly, you need to have your downloads folder either in your root folder or have htaccess implemented. Please do a search of these within the forum to get better details. My shop is all downloadable items but I don't remember how it was all done in the beginning. I have my catalog/downloads folder in my public_html folder, but I also have htaccess. I know this is kind of vague, but if you do a search with those two thoughts in mind, you will get a plethra of information on how to protect your downloads.
