Download Center Lite facilitates website owners to provide file downloads of various file types through their website.
The software offers many essential features, including file type independence, folder protection, and a "save as" dialogue, which prompts users to save downloaded files. The referer check ensures that only authorized servers can access the script, preventing unauthorized access. If you require more insight into your download history, the software offers optional logging of all downloads, counting feature and available language files in English and German.
The software compactly works in two ways. Firstly, by hiding the real path to the download folder on your server, you can prevent direct access to it, thus ensuring that users only get access to the designated files. Secondly, by prompting users to save downloaded files, the software eliminates the risk of the most common file types such as PDF, HTML, TXT, or Microsoft Office documents being opened instantly.
The GentleSource File Download ensures that all file types can be distributed via your website with ease. The folders "downloads" offer examples of the common file types you may wish to distribute. With the logging feature, you can continuously record information about the IP address, hostname, file name, date, time, referring site and user agent that downloaded files.
If you decide to activate the counting feature, you can get information on the filename, number of downloads for each file, and the date and time of the first and latest downloads. The software operates optimally with PHP/4 or PHP/5 on Windows, Unix or Linux. You will also need a software like WinZIP to unpack the script files after the download. Additionally, it is beneficial to understand HTML and possess script-installation experience.
Finally, the latest release of Download Center Lite includes a minor security fix, feature enhancement, and bugfixes to improve the overall performance of the software. With all these features, you can rest assured of efficiently managing downloads on your website with ease.
