Here's my situation. I've been trying to get this working since cbsubs came out. As of now all of my content is still unprotected. I have video files in a folder that I need to let subscribers have access to and block access to the general public. I have set up a plan with folder access pointing to the folder with the files. It's an absolute path and the protection plugin says it is writable. I take this to mean the path is correct. I have a .htaccess file in that folder pointing to the .htpasswd file, also in that folder. The username I'm using to try and access the files is subscribed to the plan and I can see the username in the .htpasswd file with an encrypted password next to it. The problem I'm having is I'm getting a 404 from Joomla when that logged in user tries to access the protected folder. It's my understanding that with this plugin the user should have access and any other person would receive a message that the folder is protected and a log on is required and that cbsubs would then offer a subscription plan to allow the access. This isn't working for me at all. I've been waiting for a fix for a long time and I had hoped it would be fixed by 1.0.3. Maybe I'm not using the plugin correctly or maybe it isn't designed to work this way. I need a way to protect my files. What can Joomlapolis do for me here?

i also have the same problem. i have 3 plans. for plan A everything is ok. for the other 2 plans the downloads directories (rockdownloads) are also shown for public users while they are just for subscribers.

i installed 7 folders with rokdownloads. only 2 of them should be public accessible. but only for one folder everything is ok. I copied both files .htaccess and htpassword.txt to another map (rights 755), but nothing is changing. Is normally cbsubs creating these files himself? do i have to create manually? why only one folder does everything correct?
