Jacob")* Hi, When you use files in products ; these files are send by HikaShop. It means that the url will be an HikaShop url and the system will check that the user has right buy the product in order to send him the file. So the system does not work if you specify an URL ; because HikaShop after his checks will redirect the customer to the specify url and the customer will be able to retrieve final path. HikaShop is also compatible with "x-send" which is a special feature of some web servers ; it allow to send big files without providing the final URL to the customer. > We added the support of mod\_xsendfile so that HikaShop can send its files via mod\_xsendfile and avoid issues with big files and serve files faster [ www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...ashop-changelog.html](http://www.hikashop.com/support/support/documentation/56-hikashop-changelog.html) Otherwise it is possible using a custom plugin to generate dynamically the URL. [ www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...onBeforeDownloadFile](http://www.hikashop.com/support/support/documentation/62-hikashop-developer-documentation.html#onBeforeDownloadFile) I used that trigger some times ago for a plugin to to add the support of "lighttpd secure download".

Jacob")* OK, I was able to create the products and they work great with an obscured URL. However some of the files are video files with a size of app. 1 Gb. I can't upload them via the backend, so I upload them via FTP. No problem, but... when I want to add file and sets file mode and enter the true file path and presses OK I receive a white/blank screen. Why the blank screen?
