Hi all,
I'm looking for a solution for the following problem.

A customer logs in to the webserver and see a list with requested file where he payed for. Once the download was sucesfull he cannot download the file a 2th time.

Any idea how to solve this practical ?

Thanks,
Vincent

I don't know how you designed the part where the customer ordered and paid for the download, but I would have made an "order" table and an "orderitems" table. The orderitems table can have a boolean field "isDownloaded" that is changed from 0 to 1 (or false to true) when the customer has downloaded the file.

Hi all,

the problem is not the download but the confirmation that the download has been done succesfull or not!

Thanks,

I think there is not an easy way to check this. What I can think of is an ActiveX control or a Java servlet, installed on the customer's computer that manages the download.
Otherwise there is no way to have access to the customer's computer.
