Re: File download - server not found

The path to your file is http://www.buschmannconcept.de/Piccolo_Download.zip
Change your link to point to the absolute path and it should work.

Piccolo_Download.zip is 8 MB not 8 KB (big difference).

I have just uploaded a zip file to my web page for people to download and test 
our software. It worked fine in local publish but now it is on the server 
everytime I click to download I get the message - piccolo_download.exe server 
not found. This is the first time I have done this and don't know where to go 
from here. Can anybody help? My web page is www.buschmannconcept.de

You probably need to force the file to be downloaded.

Clicking on it attempts to open it when on a web server. A user can right 
click and choose "Save Target As" (IE) or "Save Link As"
(FF). But that's 
not obvious without instructing them to do so.

If you have PHP available, you can use this method:

Using the script will cause a download to start instead of an attempt to 
open when the link is clicked on.

Thanks Chuck.  I tried using your script then when I tried to download my file 
I got the following error messages:
Warning: unexpected character in imput '■' (ASC11) state=1 and also
Oarse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in

I have obviously done something very wrong!
