Remarks

DownloadFile event is fired when connected users tries to download file. Inside this event, you get relative path to filename as seen by the client. wodFTPServer internally (using HomeDir property) tries to resolve this file and provides ResolvedPath argument that points to actual file on disk that will be downloaded. At this point you can change ResolvedPath argument to something completely different - and cause client to download something else without seeing any difference.

If you set Action = Deny, then client will receive 'permission denied' error and will not be able to download the file.
