melloorr Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Just upload to mediafire and link to it from your site. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/253846-how-to-download/#findComment-1301384 Share on other sites More sharing options...

melloorr Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 It is the best method (other than perhaps ftp). The file would not be there for every person to see, only those with the link could download it.

litebearer Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 You can always upload it to your site, then create a link to the file. Are you looking to make it available to everyone or just 'registered user"? What type of file is it? (pdf, txt, doc, etc etc) Will the file be created dynamically?

Ivan Ivković Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Just put a link to the file. When people click at it, it will start to download, or browser might suggest to run/save it. Example: <a href="/files/song.mp3">Download it here...</a> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/253846-how-to-download/#findComment-1301417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
