Question
Accessing files outside the root of the site.
Hi All
On my web host space I have access to a directory outside the root of the
website i.e. "private"
I want to store files there for download after users have purchased them.
I want to put them here to stop people ripping the files off by guessing the
link or useing a website copier.
What I plan to do is send a link to the user via email, this link will then
go to a download page which records the user has accessed the file and then
have the page automatically download the file.
I can do this no problem if I have the files in a directory under the root
of the site but how can I link to the files outside the root?
TIA
