[ZendTo] [Non-DoD Source] Re: confirmation of downloads

[Jules]

Howard and others,

I have just released a new beta 4.24-5 which

a) incorporates new preferences.php setting 'allowExternalUploads' (TRUE 
by default). If you set this to FALSE, then users who cannot login can 
only upload files to you if you've sent them a Request Code; they can't 
just send you files as and when they please. There is also a new error 
message in zendto.conf "ErrorRequestUsedNoUploads", so please make sure 
that is in your version of that file too.

b) Ubuntu installer improved.

Howard — Let me know if it does/doesn't do what you wanted!

Cheers,
Jules.
