Strange enough :
In order to give a training to the owners of the site I have developed with eDcoman, I have made for them a COPY of the site, but *without* the directory containing all the 1500 PDFs.
Still, to my suprise, downloading any PDF would still work... while they are NOT in the copy of the site.
Then, when I tried uploading a document, I got an error message of course, because I had not yet adapted the "Documents Path" in eDocman configuration panel (copy of the site was hosted with another hosting Cy).
But unexpectedly, the download links would still work ! Still, they are NOT in the copy of the site and the Documents Path parameter had been corrected to point to some new directory on the copy site.
How can this be ??
What I fear is the following : if donwloading is possible on my test environment (copy of the site)... then someone trying to delete some documents "just to test"... would actually maybe delete the original documents ?
I am really confused bc I don't understand how all this can be...
Txs for clarifying.

PS : I edit my own msg to give some more interesting information...
I was so much troubled that I have made the following test :
on the original site, I make an ftp connexion to my server and I *rename* my Documents Path (from "edocman" in my case to "edocmanzzz").
Again, same behaviour : on the site itself, all the PDFs can still be downloaded, while the directory has physically changed to a new name.
How can ???
