the first one is that i can upload txt files but when i open it you only see a white page and a hosting24 secret code is in my code how i delete/disable it?

Unfortunately, .txt and .exe files are disabled for security reasons. This feature can be enabled with premium account. You can upgrade your account at http://www.000webhost.com/upgrade/

2. That piece of code can be disables here: http://members.000webhost.com/analytics.php

Is there a way to fix the txt and exe because i need it for my update program. And thanks for the link to disable the hosting24 code. As it can whithout upgrade to fix the txt and exe.

The only way to get txt and exe files enabled would be to upgrade.

cant believe txt files are disabled! (but just rename them to .text and you should be ok i guess)

anyway, you can do it like PhpBB do it:
an sqldb with with table "real_name" and "filename", and load the "filename" in php and send it to the user as whatever
real_name is

you can deliver exe/txt files like this:

PHP Code:

<?php
$filename="randomfilename123";
$real_filename="hello_world.exe";
    $size = @filesize($filename);
    header('Pragma: public');

    header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
    header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$real_filename);
    header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
    header('Expires: 0');
    header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
    header('Pragma: public');
    header('Content-Length: ' . $size);

        $fp = @fopen($filename, 'rb');

        if ($fp !== false)
        {
            while (!feof($fp))
            {
                echo fread($fp, 8192);
            }
            fclose($fp);
        }
        else
        {
            @readfile($filename);
        }

        flush();

?>

(reference: PhpBB's download\file.php / function send_file_to_browser() )
edit: live demo here: http://hanshenrik.tk/transfer_exe_test/
(will download a simple "hello world.exe" console program)
please note however, if the file download takes longer than 10 seconds, it will be canceled.
this can be boosted to 44 seconds by running: ini_set('max_execution_time', 45);
but not longer than 44 seconds, as discussed in this thread: http://www.000webhost.com/forum/customer-assistance/26848-net-err_empty_response-when-running-script-long-time.html#post146713
