I have a client who wants visitors, to his site, to be able to download CAD files. But they have to register first. I am looking for suggestions on how to accomplish this in site design and development.
I think this involves some sort of database which accepts emails, names. Then it sends an email to that address with password to be able to download CAD files.
Am I making it too complicated? Is there a simpler way?
Thanks.
That sounds like the most straighforward way to me.
Or rather, I can't think of a simpler way... :)
I found a couple php scripts at hotscripts.com that you may want to look into. I am not familiar with these and simply found them by searching for "user downloads" on the site.

If you would like to see the results page of the search that had some other options you can view it HERE (http://www.hotscripts.com/search/8150239.html)
Thank you for all your help. I recently found out my client is not sure what he really wants!! How often does that happen!!!!
