Secure Downloads

Hi there,

My Name is Timothy Flores, my website is https://kingsdesigns.com/shop/. I recently responded to another thread (with @mikejolley- woocommerce, Digital download is secure?) with my question below, but wasn’t sure if I should open another ticket, so here it is ??

I’ve searched around and haven’t been able to find a direct answer/solution for my similar/particular problem and was hoping you could advise.

I am using filezilla/FTP, and using Add From Server plugin to create images in my library (easier sorting on my end). That being said, I write out my files like the following so that it’s easier for the user/buyer to read/understand, but if I do this the file path is not secure/concealed and one could simply append another title and download that image (uploading images into a custom folder within wp-content/uploads):

a.) Dubai City | Dubai, United Emirates_Color.JPG (preferred file naming)

If I upload to Worpress Media Library, it will convert my files to the following:

b.) dubai-city-dubai-united-emirates_color.jpg

which seems to (I assume) allow my file path to be concealed (which is great). Unfortunately, I do not want to upload to WordPress Media Library since it will rewrite my file names. My downlaodbable products file sizes range anywhere from 5MB – 60MB. Is there way to achieve this?

I have tried both Force Download and X-Accel-Redirect/X-Sendfile, but both options, when uploading through ftp, do not conceal the file path. I would greatly appreciate your help with this.

Respectfully,
Timothy
