Show downloads and subdirectories [Uploads module?]

[erpee]

I want to set up a system for a client that can show downloads to his potential customers. There must also be a possibility to create subdirectories in the folder of each customer. This all has to be secured through FEU

I have partly done this with the the Uploads module ... but ... there is not a possibility (I think) to create subdirectories.

Is there an option I'm overlooking or do I have to focus on another module, such as: File Listing , CGUserDirectory , List Downloads ...

When I use Uploads, I create categories and set a path to the directory I want to use, for that category, located on the server.

For example, there might be a directory at /uploads/files/clients/MyCoolFolder/

So, you would set that as the path for the Uploads category.
Then, ** I think ** when you upload a file and choose the category, it goes to that directory --- I can't remember if that is correct now so please test and verify.

Use File Manager or FTP, or other method to create the directories needed in your uploads directory.

I often use Uploads with Gallery which can also create new directories in your /uploads/ folder for you.

It's no problem for me to set directories. I want to create subdirectories.

E.g. each client can access their own page where the current downloads are placed. BUT there should also be a possibility to schow the downloads of the past years. When the client clicks this subdir the downloads of that year have to be shown.

Client
....|_ Current Downloads
...........|_ Sub dir [2013]
...........|_ Sub dir [2012]
...........|_ Sub dir [2011]

I think we are talking about the same thing then.

/uploads/files/clients/
/uploads/files/clients/Client1
/uploads/files/clients/Client1/whatever
/uploads/files/clients/Client2
/uploads/files/clients/Client2/whatever
/uploads/files/clients/Client3
....
Another module I use to show downloadable files on the frontend is "Downloads"
