AMember_Remote is a separate script that can be installed on another website or web server to control access to content using the "main" aMember database.
AMember_Remote can protect folders with any kind of content - files, HTML, PHP scripts, downloads, videos, music, etc. Whenever a user is trying to open a file or page from a protected folder, the login page will be displayed.
AMember_Remote contacts the main server to check Username/Password and subscription status, so it does not use any local databases.
One "main" aMember installation (lets name it "billing server") may control any number of "slave" AMember_Remote installations.
Installation Instructions

Enter "comment" : "aMember-remote key"; Write down the "API Key", you will need it later; Check the following permissions:
products - Products: index billing-plans - Product Billing Plan: get check-access - Check User Access: by-login-pass
Press "Save" Go to aMember CP -> Setup -> Global, press "Root Url and License Keys" Write down the "Root URL", you will need it later.
2. Using your favorite FTP client, login into your website where you want to protect pages. Upload this script into a folder named "amember-remote".

Please enter aMember's Root URL and API Key (from step 1), and make sure to change the admin password! Please do not leave your aMember installation running with the default password! Press the "Save" button. If you get error about problems with config saving, chmod file amember-remote/config.php to 666.
