Hello Pierre

- user needs to login.

You can do this by making pages "protected". Then only users or a group of users can access these pages. You canusea login object, and direct users to the locked-page area.

- Download files.

You can use the download object on a protected page. This way it is only users that are logged in, that can download the files. You do not need the download object - you can just make a link to the file you want them to be able to download.

- Upload files.

For the uploading you have to use special code. You could also use the free member-system ADMIDIO.

With this free system, you can create users, and give these users access to upload and download.

You can integrate it on your pages via iframes. You can see a demo here : https://www.admidio.org/demo_en/adm_program/modules/announcements/announcements.php

Kind regards
