Features
^^^^^^^^

Restricted access
  You can define access rules for each file (user groups, start / stop time).

Hidden file name
  The actual file name is not exposed to the user. The file name that the user sees is derived from the page title.

Single point of access
  The uploaded file cannot be accessed directly, bypassing any typo3 security measures. Access works through typo3 only. This ensures that typo3 controls the download.
  
Nice URL
  You can provide a nice URL for a deep link. You can use whatever you use for a normal typo3 content page: i.e. alias or page id. e.g. http://example.com/?my_file
  
Meta data
  You can use typo3 standard meta data to describe the file.
  
Fully configurable
  You can configure this extension to fit your needs.
