html question

[dev]

Hello,
If this is the wrong group, please post a more relevant group. My problem
is that I have a .hex file (basically a text file) shown on a web page for
download. If one left clicks on the link for this file, the text content is
displayed. Someone in my organization wants to prevent this display. Any
ideas on how to do this? I hope this is not an ignorant question but I am
not a web developer, ... yet.

Thanks,
Steve

Put the file in a folder outside of your wwwroot structure so it can't be
browsed to.

How do I prompt a "Save As" dialog for an accepted mime type?
