Downloading a file from Filezilla

[Jock]

I posted this elsewhere but in hind sight this is probably where it should go.

So ftp's and servers are pretty alien to me and what i thought would be easy aint workig out that way.

So basically I have an anmation which i need to give to a client but the things a fair old size at 100mb. So using ftp i uploaded it to my webspace.

Now i thought the client would just have to be sent a link and then he could download it but when i test it, all it does is open the animation up on the browser with what seems like no way to actually download the actual file.

Can anyone offer any advice as to how i get someone to download a file which i've uploaded through ftp?

Thanks

Right click and save link as, should work.

Thats what i thought but in the email it doesnt give you that option. All it says is:

- select hyperlink
- open hyperlink
- copy hyperlink

Change the extension of the file at your end to something random like .xyz that way his browser shouldn't know what to do with it and ask him if he wants to download it.

Or just get them to FTP from the CMD line.

That seems to do the job, thanks for your help.
