count number of downloads for a file

[startbar]

hi, how would i go about setting up a counter so i could see how many times a file has been downloaded?

simple in the page as - file.zip (downloaded 100 times)

thanks

The easiest way would be to add another page that you'd pass the information for the file, depeding if you are using a db or not and that page would add to the counter and then it would let the person download the file.

sorry but do you have any examples? im a bit of a noob

Here's a bunch of page hit counters doen in ASP. Now you just need to add the "pass the filename to another page" part and then count the hits on that page. You'd probably need to added code to insert the filename into the database also.
