This is in your httpd's configuration. Look in your mime.types file, or by editing your srm.conf file and adding appropriate AddType entries for .zip and .exe . see http://www.apache.org/ or http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/ for Apache and NCSA httpds.... after doing this, then: <a href="http://www.yoursite.com/file/path/goes/here/file.zip">Download file.zip</a> will do it. bryan > > Thanks > > dale > > Bryan K.
