Thanks for the reply.

 

Is there any options for this? like Can i Compress the file much more to make it as small as possible?

I'm not tried this, but I think...

 

$file = 'file.exe';
exec("zip -9 file.zip $file");
header("Location: file.zip");
exit;

 

Should make it as small as possible, but it's also slower.
