how do i set up a link to download a jpg file?

[evandaeman]

i have a page with some jpg thumbnails....

i want my users to click on the file name and i want them to download the file to their pc.

on jpeg files, if you click on the file, the file opens in the browser... i want them to get the option to download this file...

i just want a file downloader i guess...

i've been searching in google with little luck, because all i get is full download script softwares...

i just need one piece of coding where i can have the files downloaded to local pcs...

thanks

Thinking, you should have a dynamic web technology to support it, such as PHP/JSP/ASP..

So you can read the file stream, then output to customer side..to make it downloadble like..

I have some Java code to make it Downloadable link.. Not sure how PHP works..wish it helps..


response.setContentType("application/octet-stream;charset=UTF-8");
response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment; filename=" + fileName);
OutputStream os = null;
InputStream is = null;
try {
os = response.getOutputStream();
is = new FileInputStream(file);
write(is,os);
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}finally{
try{
if(os!=null){
os.close();
os = null;
}
if(is!=null){
is.close();
is = null;
}
}catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

public void write(InputStream is, OutputStream os) {
int bytesRead = 0;
byte[] buffer = new byte[8192];
try {
while ( (bytesRead = is.read(buffer, 0, 8192)) != -1) {
os.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
}
os.flush();
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
try {
if (os != null) {
os.close();
os = null;
}
if (is != null) {
is.close();
is = null;
}
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

}
}
