Remarks

NOTE: This method is called only if you implemented IwodFTPDNotify interface in your application, and wodFTPD.Notification property has received reference to instance of your implementation.

DownloadFile notification method is called when connected users tries to download file. Inside this method body, 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.
