 * 1) why does the file area need to be the same as media settings?
    i don’t want
   protected files in the media library – which is what i thought that setting did
   i have setup a directory called protectedfiles for these files to into and that
   would not be the same as where the media files are located.
 * i can view the page (in wp client file from dashboard)
    it lets me upload file
   and then shows me link to download but i don’t see this on the site – as admin
   or user
 * what am i missing
 * also would like to have this work with a single user, not all users
