MessageI want to make a free download available to people who visit my 
Web site.  I have this download currently in an self-extracting 
executable Zip file. 
I don't know the syntax to use to put this in a link for my visitors.
I have tried the following but it doesn't work:

<a href=3D"ftp://ww.networkdriven.com/clean_install.exe">Free 
Downdload</a>

Can you correct the link above so it would open the dialog box for my 
visitors to download.

I sure would appreciate your help on this!!

Larry

  You can place instructions with a link to the page for the client to 
right click the link and choose save target as. Or you can sip the file 
with a zip utility and link to the .zip file when they click it they 
will have the option to save to disk.

    I am generating a page that displays plain text but would like to 
instead of displaying the page, to download it to the client pc.

    I have tried playing with the content-type but have not been 
successful at forcing the page to download.

    I would appreciate any help on this.

    Thanks
