Downloading Files from Your Site
One question we hear asked a lot is: "How can I allow visitors to download files from my site?"
The answer is simple. All you need to do is point to your files using the HREF tag. However, the file must be in a format that will not execute or display on a browser. Instead, if the browser can't recognize the file, it will launch a download window.
For most purposes, you should try "zipping" your files for optimum results. Zip files are compressed and therefore download faster, and you can zip images, sounds or even HTML files without worrying about them actually executing. If you have never used Zips or other compression formats, visit CNET or Download.com for more info.
If you need to download a "clickable" file, you can get around this by telling your visitors to press the SHIFT Key and then Right Click to save the file to their own computers.
Sample: Download my file
