Hi
I'm new to these forums, so sorry if this has come up before, but I would not find any information in the posts or by searching.
We are wanted to distribute software electronically through cs-cart, but we want to ensure that the files will be secure and no one will be able to access them unless they have purchased them.
I know the files are stored in /var/downloads folder. How secure is this folder? We have set chmod 777 during install and I find that I can type in the url directly to the folder and see the files.
I have read that the downloads folder can be moved outside of the public_html folder, so I created a folder outside of the public_html, set chmod 777 and also edited the config.php file to point to this location, but when I try to attach a file to a product, it does not allow me to saying I do not have permisssions to write to that folder.
Any assistance on this issue would be much appreciated. Is anyone selling digital files? If so how did you implement it securely on cs-cart.
Thank you.
