Hello,

I anyone could please help me. I have files on my site that I want people to be able to download to their desktop. Right now I have it so that everytime someone clicks on the download button a new window pops up with the info, which I don’t want it to do.

If anyone knows how to get files to download directly to a persons desktop please let me know.

Thanks!
