Download secure files with VBA

  • Is there anyway to allow access to secure files through VBA by for example using a username and password in the link?

    At the moment I have VBA code that opens Internet Explorer and logs the user in before downloading the file but it is a fairly slow process. Is there anyway to construct a url to the file incorporating a username and password that will allow a direct download of the file, but still remain secure?

  • I suggest having a look at s2Member -> Download Options -> Advanced Download Restrictions. I think that should give you what you are looking for.

    Thanks. I looked into using keys but they seem to depend on the exact file. I have thousands of files for members to choose from so need a key generated that is unique for them, but can be used on any file. That didn’t seem possible though.
