Hope this is the right section for this.

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 donload the actual file.

Can anyone offer any advice as to how i get someone to download a file which i've uploaded through ftp?
 
Hmm Doesnt seem to work, just says website declined to show this page.

Though I thought i had posted this in the wrong section and posted in another where the guy said just change the extension to something the internet wont recognise like .xyz and that seems to do the trick.

That will do for this time but i could still do with working out how to do it without telling the client to change the extension.
 
Also i'm not clued up enough on websites to know how to create a HTML page or is it easy enough done. The website I use at the moment is wordpress if that makes a difference.
