HTML - Download A File From My Site
I would like to allow people to download a file from my site by clicking a button. I can display the button and direct it to the file but I don't know how to start the download process. I won't have multiple files, just 1 file. I was looking for a command but came up empty.

Question: Would someone please give me an example of the html code needed to download a file of this type ? Thank you. -Mel Is there any way to word a hyperlink so that it puts up the SaveFile dialogue so the user can save the hyperlink's target to their hard drive? Hi all, I have saved files in a folder. Everyday I am saving file with same name but daily dates included in the name. I want to just send the link of the file everyday that I don't have to change the name of the link provided to the user but with the different name behind the link. When user click the link it should give user option to "open and save" dialogue box. For this purpose I have tried some option. A window opened behind dialogue box and after complete download it is not closing itself. So I have required following: 1. User to give option with open and save dialogue box. 2. The browser window should close itself after download file complete or it should open, just give open and save option. Hope everyone will understand. Zia. What code do I put in my php file to prevent people from viewing it and remote downloading it?

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? hi everyone! i d like your help on how to put an icon on my site to correspond to a wav file, and how to allow the users to be able to download it. do u know any piece of code to do this?

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! Steve 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!
