Is there a way to Force the download of a file?
Is there a easy way to immediately prompt the user to save the file directly to the user's disk, without opening it in the browser?

Hi,
Add this to your .htaccess file AddType application/x-unknown mp3 Change mp3 to whatever file extension you're after. This will force a download prompt on all files with that extension though. Not sure of any easy way to do just a few files. Not even sure that's possible.

Hi,
It depends on the type of file as most common files have what are called MIME types, which basically specify the type of file and how to handle it. For instance .html files are handled by the browser, .pdf's open with adobe reader, etc... The best way to just directly download a file is to right click the hyperlink and say 'Save file as...'

Weird. This works in IE on my computer, as well as my friend's who tested for me. I've checked in IE7 and 6.
