HTML - How To Download File In Html?

I have a scenario where a user uploads any file (any format) to a webserver, the webserver manipulates the file then allows the user to download the file.

So far I can successfully upload a file to the server. However I am having trouble allowing the user to download a file. I read that streaming the file from the server to the user is better then providing a link to the file on the server. However with my attempts at streaming, I often find the file contents being displayed on the page. Whereas I simply want the file to be downloaded to the users hard disk, or preferably an option that allows the user to accept or decline before downloading the file.

Could anyone please give me an example?

how do i put up a file for download on a homepage?

What code do I put in my php file to prevent people from viewing it and remote downloading it?

Don't get me wrong, I still want the php file accessible for the viewer to load it and use it but I dont want them view the source code or download it.

Thank you.

Hello Everyone,

I am putting together a web site that will allow folks to listen to some audio files (.mp3). I do not want them to have the ability to down load them. Do do this, I create an href to the file: <a href="birdcall001.mp3">

This seems to work fine in Microsoft's IE. Microsoft IE brings up the audio player and plays the file. However if I use the Firefox browser, a dialog box comes up and gives the user the choice to listen to the file or to download it.

Is there a way to prevent Firefox from giving the user the option to download the file?

New to this, but having a lot of fun!

Thanks for any help!

Told you I was new at this. Additional testing shows:

They can also download the file in IE by simply right clicking on the reference. So I guess the real question is "is there a way to allow users to listen to a .mp3 file, but prevent them from downloading the file"

Thanks for any insight!

Hello,
I have a simple web page that contains an href link. When a user left clicks the link I would like to download a file. Testing the page local to my pc works fine, but when I uploaded in a Server, didn't worked correctly. Instead of downloading the file, it actually opens the file. What should I change?

I am using a vserver in Plesk enviroment if that is of any use. Should I change something to the server?

Hi all,
I need to have a link on my web page which allows the user to download a file on the c: drive of my web server. Basically when they click the link they will be prompted to download this file. Any ideas on how this can be done?

<a href="file:///C:/testUpload/CA_P1470H_2008-1209-143322.xls">major_bob_12-09.xls</a>

Ok so I am tryin to make a link to where a person can download a file from my website. Not quite sure on how to do this. Any answers?

Right, I've got some image rollover codes. Have a look at it by the link at the bottom. Every time I view my pictures there's always a white box with and X in. I know that means it hasn't loaded/downloaded. I would like a code so that I can make the pictures save in the visitors computer so it doesn't happen again.
