Default Downloading a .txt file...

I have a page and it gives download link to a something.txt...

So when i click it, It goes to the file and views it online... But i want the visitors to download the file by just clicking it.

Hows that done???

It is really dependent on the programming language you're using ... it is possible with php, asp, asp.net or cold fusion ... Which PL you're using ?

On every where if you are using and providing the txt link then it will open the txt file on web. You have to tell user - right click and Save the file. I think then only it will be saved.

You can set HTTP headers that force download the file rather than auto open it. This is the sample code in php.

PHP Code:
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"filenamehere.txt\");
