Hello,

How can i secure this dir : "var/siteaccess/storage/original/video" ?

In fact this is where all my commercial files are stored :

- Should i move this outside of the DocumentRoot ? : If yes what kind of settings do i need to allow EZP to still store contents in this dir ?

- What kind of rights policy should i use ?

- After those files are selled, what is the best technic for the downloading of those files by the end user ?

Thanx in advance. Help on this would be great.

EZP is Great

Hi Martin,

Do I understand right that you want to implement ESD (electronic software download) ? You said that people should be able to download files after they have been sold.
I did not try this by myself, but I would think about having the original files kept in a secure place, and when you got the sales, move them to the user's content node so that they can download them (and even re-download them later on)

Best regards,
Pascal
