How to force a file download

[Bammy217]

Hey folks,

I am having a spot of difficulty, I want to offer a file download to users of a site, though currently IE and NS think they're smart, and keep trying to open the files in a browser, whereas I need them to always offer a "Download / open file" box.

Anyone, any ideas?!
Cheers,
Danny

We never fail, we just find that the path to succes is never quite what we thought...

It sounds like you don't have the correct permissions set on the file on the web server. If you don't allow execute permissions, it should prompt the user to run/save the file.

Hope This Helps!
