Now, I know that Lissa writes in one of her sections how to download files, but that doesn't always work accuratly.

For example, lat's say I want them to download a PHP scripts. So, what you do is you upload the script to your host. Now you put a link on one of you site's like this:

<a
href="http://www.in-sense.com/files/someting.php">download the PHP file!</a>

Now when you go to the PHP file, it will not download it, but it will show you the page.

Same goes for SWF files, MP3 files, WAV files,...

What do I put on the page so people can download it!
I think there is a CGI script. but I'm not sure

There's always the right-click>save as option.

I know, but I don't really want that. I want them to download it. save target is the stupid...

its best to put the file into a ZIP file, upload, and link to that. that way it will prompt to download each time plus it compresses the file to its smallest format.

But, I know how to add files to zip, but I don't know how to compress, how do go about doing that?

thanx,
I'll do that from now of on.

To zip it just right click the folder and go to - Send To - Compressed Zipped folder and your done :P

Thanx :)
