    Hi,
    I'd like to provide visitors with a file download link via email (aweber) to download files, however, I don't want them to share the link with others for them to download. Is there a simple code or way to have a non-public file download link? Maybe a password protected download with the dynamic passwords that can only be used once? I'm using wordpress - it would be great if I could have a dynamic password for a page or post.

    Thanks!

    Dave

    never encountered a wordpress plugin like that.. the best bet would be to pay a plugin developer on this one !

    or have your site moved to another platform..

    hi.
    i once did something for a aweber mailing list.

    as far as i remember, you can give each visitor only a fixed return-url, right?

    well, there would be an easy way, sure not 100% secure, but 99% of the people who give their email to a mailinglist, will also not discover the way around it.

    so go for the quick and simple 99% secure way and pm me along with your msn/icq/yahoo/gtalk messenger id, so we can talk it out.

    greetings,
