I am creating an application that will allow users to upload files into a personal user directory (/var/www/portfolio/xxxxxxxxx) where the xxxxxxxxx is the UserID. I do not want this directly accessible from a web browser and thought this would be more secure.
Uploading is working just fine. I can specify the dirctory path before upload. But I have been unable to get the file download to work. I have checked the threads like this one
http://forums.codecharge.com/posts.php?post_id=45527 and still do not know how to set the path correctly to make the download work.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

In your case it may be best to build the URL programmatically. Just use a label with the Before Show event where you assemble the necessary HTML code, like:
$FormName->Label1->SetValue("<a href="http://www.yessoftware.com/download/files/CCStudio3_0_4_1.exe">Click Here to Download</a>");

Peter,
Thanks for the help. I have made a few changes and moved directories around to make this work.
I am trying to progammatically create the url with little luck and I am sure it is just my lack of knowledge. Here is my code
$server = "xxxx.xxxx.xxx";
$path = "uploads";
$user = CCgetUserID();
$stufile = $student_upload->stu_upld_filename->GetValue();
$student_upload->Link2->SetValue("<a href=http://" . $server . "/" . $path . "/" . $stufile ">Click Here to Download</a>");
but I keep getting errors like this
Parse error: parse error in /var/www/html/portfolio/student/student_uploads_events.php on line 55
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/html/portfolio/student/student_uploads_events.php:55) in /var/www/html/portfolio/student/student_uploads.php on line 556
I am so close I can taste it but don't know how to get around this hurdle.
Thanks for all of your help.

Not sure what's wrong but first please check what you have on line 55 that is reported in that warning/error.

Sorry Peter,
I didn't indicate this in my posting. This is line 55
$student_upload->Link2->SetValue("<a href=http://" . $server . "/" . $path . "/" . $stufile ">Click Here to Download</a>");
and I cannot figure out what is wrong;

put a single quote before http and before >
like :
$student_upload->Link2->SetValue("<a href='http://" . $server . "/" . $path
.. "/" . $stufile ." '>Click Here to Download</a>");

WKempees,
Thanks for reply. Your solution didn't work but it got me on the right track.
Here is what worked.
$student_upload->Link2->SetValue("<a href='http://" . $server . "/" . $path . "/" . $user. "/" . $stufile ." '>Click Here to Download</a>");
I had to add an extra variable, but the format is the same.
Thanks for all the help. CodeCharge and these forums make my life a lot easier.
