You don't need a component for downloading files; all you need is a link to the file; e.g.:

<a href="YourFile.doc">Download Now</a>

If you want to stream files from a different location (not located under the web root) to the client, take a look at this FAQ:

thank you.it meanse i just put a link to my file and this file can be in any format.it seems so easy.thank you.i was really confused.
thank you again and wish you very best wishes

Yes, you can do that with any file type. However, some files are opened by the browser, instead of saved to disk. For example, .html, .doc and .xls files are usually opened inside the browser. This is a client (browser) setting that you cannot change remotely.
The article I linked to earlier presents a solution to force the Save As dialog, regardless of the document type and client settings.

another question(i think my questions get you board and i'm really appologize) when i want to download files in the second page there is some where that i should put the save path the code is as below:
Count = Upload.Save("c:\upload")
is it usefull at web???? and if not wich path i should set for it??
thank you again
you've helped me very much

If you want your users to be able to download the files again, and you don't want to "stream" the files as explained in the FAQ I linked to earlier, you should save your files somewhere under the web root folder (usually somewhere under Inetpub\wwwroot).

The IIS account needs write permissions to be able to write to that folder. This FAQ shows you how to configure your system for that: http://imar.spaanjaars.com/QuickDocId.aspx?QUICKDOC=290

While typing this post, I was listening to: Hangin Tree by Queens of the Stone Age (Track 8 from the album: Songs For The Deaf) What's This?

thank you for your link.i've used it and it was working.i've tried diffrent ways to give address for my uploading places but it didn't work.
i change the code to this sample:
Count = Upload.Save("inetpub\wwwroot\upload")
or
Count = Upload.Save("wwwroot\upload")
or
Count = Upload.Save("upload")
and for all of these i get below error:
Error Type:
Persits.Upload.1 (0x800A003D)
Wrong Content-Type. Make sure you have included the attribute ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" in your form.
/newfolder/Uploadcompressor.asp, line 58

did i give the address in wrong way or i should change the other code?

Your path is incomplete; you need to provide a drive letter as well. E.g.:

Count = Upload.Save("C:\inetpub\wwwroot\upload")

i tried this way of addressing but it didn't work.even i copy and paste your code and put it in my programes but it didn't work.it just accept c:\upload path address.

Can you define "didn't work"?? And did you read the FAQ that explains how to set the necessary security permissions on the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\upload folder? For what user account did you change those security settings??
