How to create download ?

[galsaba]

I upload a file to my website.
the name of the file is me.zip.
What command I need to write as html to have the user to download it?
2. If I uploaded the file me.zip in my website: www.gal.com/files
how the user can download this file?

thanks,

galsaba

In html you have to put
<a href="http://www.gal.com/files/me.zip">Download Here</a>

For it to open in a new window use
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.gal.com/files/me.zip">Download
Here</a>

How does one go about having the user automatically prompted for
download? Do you need to put something in the page header? Cheers

All browsers I ever used have such functionality _IF_ the user wants it.
Most of the times it's "hidden" under the right mouse button, so just
tell them about it if you think that the default behavior for such a
link isn't what the user wants (most of the time the behavior you want
to force here really pisses me of).

Ok, and instead of 'Click Here' you've put 'Download Here', a
nice finishing touch if I may say so.

What does your browser do if you follow a link like that?

I see their tutorials come highly recommended, being
recommended reading at over 100 universities!! I bet they're
real proud - it's not everybody can say *that*.

Are you one of their certified HTML Developers?

What does your browser do if you follow a link to a zip file?

Anyhow, there's always the Content-Despot header, if that's of
any use to you.
