I recently bought a piece of forum/message board software from a company, and they sent me an email with a link to a download dir, that was my name, so I imagine they did some cffile work that took my username I gave, created a directory on the server for that file, specifically for me.
now, I don't know the ttl on that dir/file but it was specifically created for my download. you could have a 24 hour ttl live, and then if they request it again, make them login or something... either way, once something is dl'ed you can prevent them from redist. again, anyway... tony weeg uncertified advanced cold fusion developer tony at navtrak dot net www.navtrak.net office 410.548.2337 fax 410.860.2337 -----Original Message----- From: Oliver Cookson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 25, 2003 8:54 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Anti Leech Ideas? Hi, I have built e-commerce site selling a piece of software. Once authorisation has been approved from the merchant banker I forward the user to a protected part of the site (session vars) where they click on the link to download the software. The problem is this link could be freely distributed for anyone to commence download. I know I could dynamically change the location of the directory but I would prefer not to do this. Is there a way of hiding the location of the download? Im stumped how to go about doing this. Any thoughts would be great.
