Mask Download link

[jeff01050]

Im trying to mask a download link so little pirates like myself can find the download directory folder.

example: mysite com/downloads/1.zip

im trying to mod rewrite to pull the files in but im messing up big time.

any help?

Not sure what you're trying to do, what does the original url look like?

Instead of linking to the actual file, you can make your download links something like:

example.com/download.php?file=1.zip

In download.php script, you will just set the correct headers to force a file download, like:

header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Type: Application/Force-Download");
header("Content-Disposition: Attachment; FileName=...your filename...");
header('Content-Length: ...file length in bytes...");
