Hello,

is it possible to use a password for a download?

Stefan

Hi, yes, in two forms:

1) as standard login - you just type login and password to download the file
2) or per unique download link - which includes token (token is like password)

In which field or where in the extension I have to write the login and the password?

2) or per unique download link - which includes token (token is like password)
In which field or where in the extension I find the token?

First of all thanks for your answer. My questions are in red. Sorry, I don't finde the option to use a password for a file-download.

Hi,

1) there is standard login like on your whole Joomla! page - if you set that some file will be protected, clicking on it will display standard Joomla! login.

2) the token url you can find in file edit (since Joomla! 3) so if you copy this url, you can access the file e.g. in case such will be not acccessible for public.
