Hi chembukar,
>>..FTP ok.. but our constraint is not put the file in app folder, becoz is visible all over the internet.............
- You can redirect user to centralized down page to handle all the download process here. This can avoid the exposure of physical directories to public via URL since you can control the download logic there before user start download the file.
