How do I set up a link for a file download?

Hi varocho,
I believe I have understood your question.

You have a File in the Server and u need to show a hyperlink in the Page to download the file.


It is very simple.
Put the file in the WEB Server root Directory which is visible to the Internet world (Eg: docs directory in netscape Server). Now create a link like:

<A HREF=&quot;/filename.ext&quot;>File 1</A>

If the file is not physically available in teh Server and if it available in the Database, then u might have to have a servlet to pull the file from the database and then throw it to the Client machines....

Let me know if u need more info

Thanks and regards,
