ojimak, can't open his downloads

I'm having trouble opening Ojimaks downloads. Anybody else?

What is the problem? That gives us something to work with.

problem is they are zipped and password protected.
you have to go back to the site and get the password which is shown
plain as day on his website.

only reason I am not revealing the password is just to make sure
you have been to his site and got the files from there and not through
an unauthorized redistributor.

other than that, I don't want to confuse you with any cryptic malarkey

oh, and you need an unpacking program to open the archived files

I'm not sure if I answer your particular problem but if it asks you for a password try ojimaks. not sure about the s in the end. good luck.

Will a moderator please remove the previous post containing the password to open OJ's files.

Amoscarmel, please read AirDave's post!

Thanks,

Curt

Curt,

Ojimak has his password out in the open, so the hint is not bad.

I need to find my post on his aircraft, and how i wrote it, to show you what I mean

In this particular case, I think Ojimak freely displays his password
and there is no attempt to make it difficult for the downloader
and definitely no attempt to restrict access to any special group.

(Although that doesn't give blanket permission to share a password
outside of his site...unless he does it too?)

Ollie's method of sharing free models is similar (to Ojimaks) ...you have
to send him an email and ask for the freely given password.
Maybe he records every request and has a list of all who get his models? lI don't know

I just like to make sure that downloaders visit the designers site
and see what else he has to offer.
And maybe the designer has advertising or other things that he would like
you to see (in return for getting his models for free).

Rick, in this case, I think Curt is commenting on the exact quoting of the password by a new member.
Even though its public (on Ojimak's site), should we be posting it here?

**ashevilleangler** · #8 01-24-2013, 04:00 PM

That's exactly correct Dave.

The other advantage to Ojimak and Ollie's password technique is it ensures the basic file has a clear mark from the author - regardless of where you find it ...
