HTML solution is <a href="path_to_file" >File to download</a>

Well one problem is the swf might go in the browser instead of download.

I have a solution though. Make the server in that area the where the browser cannot display swf and instead go up as a doiwnload.

My problem with IIS is when I tried to download a exe it tried to access it instead. I took out excutive permissions and it wanted to download it instead of accessing it.

use binary stream writing for auto download start. Googling can help you find some exemplary script

hyipo you were right, when i <a href="path_to_file" > suggested by the mod, the browser just accessed the file and opened it in a new browswer window. i'm not really sure how to alter my server so it can't use .swf files, and to saadatshah I had a little through the web but was unable to find anything regarding binary stream writing.
