I was wondering if there is a way to generate a one time only passcode to enable a software download from a fileaharing website, for a software that I will be posting?

What I have tried:

I have tried looking for one time passcode download, but I am not getting the results I need.

Only if the site hosting your software supports it.

Truthfully, one "one-time" code is useless. If the download fails or is interrupted for some reason, the user has to go get another code. It would be better to generate a login account and password for the user instead.

"a one time only passcode to enable a software download" is the wrong place to put protection.
A better choice is to use a license activation scheme. After installation, you software ask a purchase code and register on your site so that the purchase code can not be reused for another install.
