I have a custom software title that I will be selling on eBay via a PayPal payment. I have the verify.asp script that will make sure the person is coming from paypal's website. The download.asp works great but in the download window the URL of the software is displayed. I need help on 1 of the 2 options:
1 - Somehow mask the URL in the download window
2 - Use a password protected folder to hold the downloaded software. If this method is used then how do I initiate the download without the person having to enter the user and password?
Any help would be appreciated.

create an .asp page that accepts the filename as an querystring variable. Bases on the filename is should open the file for binary reading and output the data with response.binarywrite. Make sure that you set the Response.ContentType correct (application/exe or similar). The .asp should check if the user has the right permissions.
This way the user never knows the download location, you can even put the software out of the www-shared directory
