View Download History using Logs?

    Hi,

    I need to view the download history for a file stored on my site, as I need to know up to the current date rather than in the future, a ‘Download Manager’ plugin is of little/no use to me.

    I am aware that there may be a way to view this information using log files but I wouldn’t know where to start, can anyone give me a jumping off point so I can do some digging?

    Thanks,

    AFX

    What details do you want to retrieve from the history?

    Hi Andrew,

    I’ve trying to find out the number of times a specific file has been downloaded…

    You can count the number of times someone has accessed the URL of the file in your server logs, at the minimum.
