File DownLoads

Can someone show me the code required to download a zip file to a user?

Thanks,

Hi,

List your zip file as hyperlink

e.g. <a href="http://myweb.com/myzip.zip">Download</a>

Upon clicking the hyper link, press Save button to save locally

Actually there is a better way if you are using .NET 2.0 and ASP.NET 2005.

I found this at http://www.eggheadcafe.com/PrintSear...asp?LINKID=320.
