• Delivery Method: Select how the file should be delivered to the user.
  • E-Mail or Direct Download: The user can select how to receive the file.
  • Direct Download: The file will be downloaded directly within the user’s browser. Note that this method DOES hide the location of the file on your server from the user.
  • E-Mail: The file will be e-mailed to the user. Note that some e-mail have size limits for attachments, so files larger than 8-10Mb should only use the “Direct Download” delivery method.
• Download Limit: How many times can each user download this file?
• All Users: Would you like to make this file available to all users? If this checkbox is NOT ticked, you will have to either (1) individually assign access on a user-by-user basis to this file (”Users” > “Digital Product Access”) or (2) sell access to this file by creating a product.
• Expires: How many years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds after a user joins should that user NO LONGER be able to download the file? Leave blank to not expire this download. Examples:
  • 3 months after joining: 00 03 00 00 00 00

• File Location: Is the file already uploaded to your server or do you need to upload it?

    • IMPORTANT: If your file is over 10Mb, upload your file using an FTP client and then click on the “File is currently on the server” option.
    • Upload File: Select the physical file from your local hard drive that will serve as this digital product.
    • Upload File To: Directory on your server into which this file should be uploaded. If you are uncertain, we recommend leaving this as the path to the default “digitalfiles” folder.
    • Download Display Name: This is the name of the file as it will appear on the user’s hard drive following the download. The correct extension will be automatically added to the display name, so there is no need to include the extension when inputting this field.
