1. First step is to create a folder on your server through an FTP client. This can be above or below the public_html folder as shown below:

e.g. Above (Recommended as it can’t be accessed directly)
/downloads
/public_html

or below: (Not recommended as it can be accessed directly via the internet)
/public_html
/downloads

2. Once the folder is created, upload your digital file to the downloads folder
e.g. /downloads/my_track.mp3

3. In the section of your stor’s general settings a root path of your store will be shown. You will need this root path to determine the root path to the file. Suppose for instance it is /home/user/public_html

If your downloads are above the public_html folder the path will be:
/home/user/downloads/my_track.mp3

If it is above this will be:
/home/user/public_html/downloads/my_track.mp3

4. Now you can create a product in your admin control panel and select the product type as digital. Then you will have to enter the root path to the file in the text box provided.

Once the payment is made, you can send a unique url to the customer for accessing the file. Through the general settings you can determine the length of this url and also the number of download that can be made.

This completes the process of adding a digital product to CubeCart

APG or Automated Password Generator is a Linux based program that enables the webmasters and server administrators to create random, secure passwords, through the server’s SSH. Many Linux distros use APG in their repository, it has a user friendly interface and it can be installed and used easily. Basically it uses permutations and combinations of various characters, alphabets, numbers, in-combination to generate a password that cannot be predicted.

APG is a free software that is based on open source technology, therefore it can be downloaded for free. You can use this url for downloading APG – http://www.adel.nursat.kz/apg/ for Linux and its distros.

In order to check the current settings, you may simply enter ‘apg’ in the command line. This will take you to the command prompt that looks like the following:

Please enter some random data (only first 8 are significant)
(eg. your old password):>

When you enter the password, you wont be able to view the characters. Once you hit the enter button, APG will generate six passwords instantly, followed by their pronunciations.

Note : These are not the passwords, it is only an arrangement made to help you to remember the password but are still in a much secure format.
Here is a list of such examples :

Ryatyiarp0 (Ryat-yiarp-ZERO)
AikAktevAj6 (Aik-Ak-tev-Aj-SIX)
Ephfeoc7 (Eph-fe-oc-SEVEN)
urfapDulm3 (urf-ap-Dulm-THREE)
rackVafasos9 (rack-Vaf-as-os-NINE)
RownotCict5 (Rown-ot-Cict-FIVE)

If you would like to skip the pronounceable passwords, you may use the “-a” flag and add a “1? at the end, as shown below :

apg -a 1

After the command is run, you will get the following output:

\+Nx9Hek`
G:89&2OO
uKHOwO-}%u
@q7GCi3Jh+
L5?S|eku

After this the other settings can be configured and then you can specify the minimum length of the password (-min_pass_len) and the mode (-M), this command will help you to determine the types of characters allowed. You can run ‘man apg‘ from the command line for checking the documentation.
