Hi,
I have a folder on my site containing downloadable files for customers after purchase.
Will Admin Tools affect or block the downloads?

If yes, how can I configure Admin Tools to not block customers downloads?

Are you using the .htaccess Maker? If so, the default behavior is to block access to all folders not explicitly allowed. Add the folder with the customers downloads in the "Allow direct access, except .php files, to these directories" in the .htaccess Maker and then click on Save and Create .htaccess.

For example, if your downloads are in the form http://www.yoursite.com/foo/bar/baz.pdf the folder you need to add is foo/bar

If the folder is in public_html, do I just put the folder name?
