How do I offer download facilities on my site?

Hi there,

Does anyone know how I would go about setting up a facility to download files from my website?
Isn't it some sort of script?

Excuse my ignorance!:o

Depends what files you need to download, but a surefire way is something called 'Forced Download', which is normally done with a serverside script. I did a quick Google search, here's one result (http://www.psacake.com/web/0402b.asp) that looks good, or the search itself (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=Forced+Download&btnG=Google+Search).

Alternatively you can link to the file itself in HTML:

<a href="file.zip">Download a file</a>

Does that help? :)
