You may want to click on profile and change your forum name to something other than your email address.

What type of files do you want to upload and download? You can use the CoffeeCup form builder to upload one file at a time.

I don't think it is software that you need for down loading. If someone clicks on an MP3 file, the browser will start playing the file. You need to either setup some sort of FTP area, zip the files you want to have downloaded, or wrap those downloads in a disguise.

I know of a way to download files using php. Do you have php installed on your web server?

It is easy to allow users to download a .PDF file. Check this site: http://www.uphilltheband.com/. Just set up an html object with code like this:
<a href="UPHILL_PK.pdf"> Click here to Download the UPHILL Press Kit ( PDF ) </a> (UPHILL_PK.pdf

I have an inferiority complex - but it is not a very good one.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
