Download File Definitions

The functions on this page allow the system administrator to maintain information about downloadable files.

The following fields are defined for a Download File:

Field Description
File The name of the file available for download. Clicking this link will actually begin the download.
Display Name A display name other than the "short" file name if desired.
URL For Redirect If you instead wish to redirect to, for example, anonymous ftp, enter the URL to redirect the browser to for those kinds of downlods. This is particularly helpful for reducing stress on the app server with large downloads
Description Description of the file
Project General filter. You can leave blank, or add 'project=' parameters to Download.do and filter for a particular project entry
Group Name The name of the group that is allowed to download this file
Download Notes Any special notes available to the file
Active Check to true if you want the download file to appear to the end user.
Restricted? Check to true if you want the system to reverse lookup the client ip and prevent ips from particular countries from downloading this file.
