Thanks sOda. It was a permissions issue on the file. I figured it out but I do appreciate your help.

it doesn't matter where the location is. the only thing that matters is if the file is actually in the directory. i still can't figure out why it's not working for you though.

no. you dont need a hidden page. yes .../nameoffile.zip will work just fine. even specifying a directory with the url; .../httpdocs/ ;; this would list all the files in that directory for download.

sitename.com isn't a real domain... or if it is, it doesn't belong to me. I am working with a real domain. I just used sitename.com as an example. To rephrase my question, the files I want my customers to download are loaded on my site. They have been placed in httpdocs. Is it possible to simply use an address for a file download that is structured like this: http://www.mysitesname.com/nameoffile.zip? Or would http://www.mysitesname.com/httpdocs/nameoffile.zip work? Or do I actually need a hidden download page to execute downloads from my site?

is sitename.com a REAL domain?

I'm getting a "page not found" error. Should it work if I simply use a return path of http://www.sitename.com/httpdocs/filename.zip? Is that all there is to it?

What sort of error are you getting? I would think downloading a .zip file would be easy.

Could you upload a test file to a test directory? That way we can see if it works or not.
