    Default Password to Download a linked file?

    I setup an Ez Page for my customers Price List files. Anyone can download them without having to buy them, or add them to the cart.

    I added a link to my drop down menu and it takes me to the ez page, no problem there. When I click on the link to download the zip file it asks for a username and password. It doesn't do this if I just enter the url to the file in the address bar of the browser.

    Any thoughts as why Zencart is causing it to ask for Username and Password?

    Website URL: http://www.flagshipmodels.com

    Click on Information, then Price Lists.

    You've uploaded these into the Zen Cart download folder, this folder is protected by a .htaccess file (Password Protected Directory) which is why you are being asked for username/password.....you'd be better off uploading these to a different folder and link the download from there :)

    Weird, I changed that to a directory in the root, but I must of not hit update or something when I changed it on the EZ Page. DUH
