Re: why i can download file from download folder directly?
Sounds like your host is not allowing the .htaccess settings work with your site to protect your directories ...
Who are you hosting with and what do you have in the .htaccess file on the server in the /download directory?Linda McGrath

Re: why i can download file from download folder directly?
I have the same problem.
Should the .htaccess file allow a specific user? Or does it have to be a particular user that the zen-cart knows about?
Or would the zen-cart care?
I am concern that if I protect the directory, then none of my downlaods will work.
Thanks!

HappyMom,
If your cart is running on Linux (not Windows) and you have Download-by-redirect enabled or download-by-streaming enabled, then the .htaccess only needs simple protection ... to block everyone.
Zen Cart will read the files there via direct access, bypassing the .htaccess restrictions. Once it reads the files, it can make them available to download via the methods I just mentioned..

Re: why i can download file from download folder directly?
Thanks DrByte!
Just for further clarification...
Where is the "Download-by-redirect enabled" or "download-by-streaming enabled" flag?
Is it on the zen-cart? or php? or the site?
Thanks a lot for your support!
