I actually usually use ftp with password protection on my site for the
very few things I need to download securely. I also have high security
sockets encrypted pages should I need them, but I do not need them now.
I was just showing how you can securely download even if you can not do
anything on the server, such as is the case for some of the few
remaining free hosts. Of course a file with an extension of .exe will
discourage many from downloading in the first place unless they know
who you are and have arranged with you to get passwords for files they
need to download. What I illustrated is not much different from what
some people do who sell programs. Anyone can download the protected
program file. However you can not open it until you pay the seller and
they send you a password by eMail.
