              Don't think so. I just didn't want anyone to have to go unzip them. All files combined are only like 25k.

                        I know but this is for the computer illiterate. Only takes 2 seconds to download a zip, was just trying to make them download all together without worrying about it.

                        No biggie.

                          ahh ok.. I see now

                          it's hard dealing with someone who doesn't know much about computers.. too bad they don't have servu set up on their computer, then you could just go right onto their hard drive.. ever try that program? It's pretty cool

                            you can write a lil php proggie that zips files and/ or dirs on the fly and offers to download the zip. When connection is closed it deletes the temp zip.

                            edit: sorry... zip doesn't work for you

                            but if it's txt files you can let php read the contents and display them in the browser, lol

                              PHP Code:
                              <? 
                              $filename = $_GET['file'];
                              header("Content-Type: application/force-download"); 
                              header("Content-Dishahahahahahahahahaha attachment; filename=".basename($filename).";");
                              header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); 
                              header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename)); 
                              readfile("$filename"); 
                              ?>
                              save as down.php
                              call with domain/down.php?file=main.html

                              forces main.html to download

                                I hope this isn't an idiots only thread. But why don't you just let him right click and "save target as" . I know it sounds very complicated but you should give it a try.

                                Just make a html file with a link to the htm file you want this guy to download . Under this link you place the text "Hi **** just right click this link then choose "save target as" and downloading will start" .

                                Once again I hope this wasn't an idiots only thread .

                                    If he's downloading to a PC then make a self-extracting ZIP file. All he has to do is save target as..., and then double click on it to extract it.
