Some website help needed!

[pcgamer321]

Well, I have a question. When I set up the download link on my site, and I click on it, it does not work. I have to right click, and click save link as to download. Now, how do I make it so when I left click, the download manager on the browser pops up instead, basically ability to download with one click.

Thanks.

Pretty sure that's not a website thing, that's a browser setup thing.

Then why does it happen to my site only....
I downloaded things from many sites before, only had to right click save link once.

You have to set the Content-Disposition of the response to attachment. This should not usually be necessary, but apparently your browser tries to make an attempt at rendering the file format.

In order for your link to work every file you upload needs to be in the public_html folder. Is that where you put your file?

I think you put it in the public_ftp folder if I'm looking at the right file.

ah, I thought that all downloadable things go to public_ftp. Will change that now.

edit: Yup, that works. Thanks DeviousTrap.


Still learning the kinks to hosting a site.
