download from a website?
i am building a website for my course, and i want the instructor to be able to download the files from my website.
how do i do that ? when i hyperlink the file, you can navigate the file, but you cant download it, so i think there is more to it than just hyperlinking |

i think part of my problem is ...
i am supposed to submit "binary" along with my source code and output. I assumed that the professor probably mean binary file a.out? (you know when you compile by typing the command g++ yourfilename.cc, a.out file gets created in the folder) anyway, i am supposed to upload the "binary" along with my source code and output, and I am afraid when I hyperlink the file a.out in the website, the link opens up in the browser with very weird characters, so I was wondering if there is any way I can make the person download my file |

What I did with my site is made the hyper link to a new window and prompts the user to download the file. It works like that with me. Add this tag to your website:
<a href="nameofyourfile.watever" target="_blank">Click to Download</a>

Umm.. you have no clue what you're talking about. You have to download something to navigate to it.

@programmingnoob: In case you didn't know... the -o parameter to g++ will let you name your output file something other than a.out (default).
g++ -o yourfilename yourfilename.cc As to your problem, you can take off the extension of the file. Or the user could right click the link and choose "save as".
