for you to download a file does it have to be zipped?

[dazz_club]

Hello

just wondering, do all files that are made to download have to be zipped or compressed, is there a tag or html code that links directly to the file to download. just askin because some people may not have winzip or they are too lazy to get it

cheers

Depends on what the file type is.

the file is a pdf file. i would like to allow the user to download the file but if i zip it using winzip then the user would have to download the programme for it to work and im thinking its too much hassle for em.

You can do like this:

Code: Select all

Right click on the link and click on save as
<a href="file.pdf">The file</a>
