Storing files for download

[Ed]

Hi All: Any way to store files in a directory or folder for download such as
access.mdb or ecel files?

They need to be zipped, else they will open in the user's browser.

You need to zip the file using WinZip or Compress folder function under
Windows XP and I would not named the folder htaccess.

You need to delete the links to the htaccess
files for starters.
I didn't see any other links to "files"

Windows XP pro.
Thanks All. I used compress file and found after download i need to extract
to make file not read only. Thanks again.
One more thing can I creat a folder to list files in folder (folder view) on
web?
Or do i need to creat web oage with links to download files?

Your host would have to enable "Allow Browse" on the specific folder.
