Make a 30 Mb file available for download by web surfers


I would like to make several files available to web surfers. What is the easiest way to set it up so a web surfer could click on a link and have the ability to download the file?

Thank you,
Jeff

Its the same as any hyperlink. Most web browsers will default to downloading a file they don't know how to interpret. Essentially you can just:

<a href="www.yourdomain.com/folder/file.zip">This file will download</a>
