I need to put a file on my server so that someone can download it from there.

Getting it to the server is not a problem, but how do I make it so they can just click on it and it will download to their computer?

I know it's a dumb question, and one that I've handled before, but today my brain just won't process the answer.

Please help.

Thanks, Margaret

Click to expand...

put it in public_html (or equivalent, depending on OS/web server) and give them a direct link to it.

i.e. http://mywebsite.com/myfile.zip
