Can I enable the download of a file from a link?

Sounds like you want to zip it then

On your PC right click the image and send to zip ( or something like that)

Locate the zip file, in your case, should be ewordsolorguide.zip. FTP this file.

Link to this file should be http://www.preaching-truth.com/eswordcolorguide.zip

This will give the visitor the option of opening it or saving to their PC.

Its been a while since I've done this but I am 99% sure thats the way to do it.

Darren: Thanks, but No, I don't want to zip the picture. I only want to zip files in the future. I need this picture to be given the option to be saved with a left mouse click, and not a "save as" right mouse click. Unless I select http: in the properties of the link, I can't get the file to download.

I guess from reading the posts above, I was under the impression that you could use "file" in the properties of the link to download files. This is what I want and this seems to be where I'm getting stuck. Please let me know to do this.

The reason I want to zip something is for another time.

Sorry for the confusion and thanks though for the help.

In Christ, Shawn

One last suggestion....perhaps?

Instead why not insert the image on a fresh BV page and insert some text giving your visitor instructions on what to do with it. Publish that page and link to that instead.
