My problem is that when my users are sent to a page that provides a link to my PDF ebook, they are unable to use "Save Target As..." in order to save the file to their hard drive. It only pops up a prompt to save "get.asp." Left-clicking works, but the service that I use for customers to download the ebook has instructions to "Right-click and then choose save target as..."

I thought that perhaps the ASP script that is being used to redirect users to my PDF could be modified or deleted in order to allow both left and right clicking to prompt the download. However, I myself am unable to access the script.

Are there any other solutions to this problem? Should I enable virtual FTP in order for users to download the ebook?

This is a bit over my head! Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

The ASP script would probably need to be modified to specify a filename, otherwise it will just use the name of the webpage (xxx.asp).

Why are you using a script in the first place? Part of a shopping cart system where the user needs to pay before downloading?

It's part of payloadz.com. They provide a link to a download location after payment has been received through paypal.

The ASP would need to be modified SERVER SIDE though, correct?
