protect downloads with uploads module [solved]

Post by mkrve »

Ok,

i'm trying to protect some downloads from direct linking.
I'm using the FrontEndUsers and Uploads modules.

all i want is to upload a file to the Uploads module in the admin.
and then place a link to that one file on a protected page.

I created a protected page,
created a category in the uploads module ("Company documents")
uploaded a file to this category ("testfile.pdf")
Password protect the upload dir by .htaccess

the simple question i have now is:
How do put the protected link on a content page?
What is the correct tag to use?

I read the documentation, and tried lots of thing, but i must be missing something :(
