I'll check out Altuit's Magic Carpet. I have been playing with the
tutorial from So Smart Software and have made a lot of progress. One of
my problems was that the disk image I was testing on for my download was
corrupted. Argh. It's amazing how many hours you can fight with
something, only to find something really stupid that's tripping you up.
Thanks to a number of you who have made suggestions. Here's another
question - If I use the "load url" command and go with the ftp protocol,
am I exposing myself by having my username and password passed with
this? I now know that it's exposed if I use a browser, but what about
this route?
Thanks,
Marty Knapp

username and password show up in the browser history, which is, of
course, not good!
I've been reading the docs about all the URL stuff. I took a look at the
Tutorials from So Smart Software and I'm getting more, not less
confused. It seems like there's a lot of options, though the difference
between them isn't clear to me yet. Basically I need to protect myself
from people just downloading the software who haven't paid, but make it
easy for those who have paid to download the latest version. Because
it's a low-dollar item I can't afford to be manually processing stuff -
I want my computer & web site to take care of 99% (that's why they made
computers - right!?).
