How to make a file download link in Dynamic Web

Sometimes you want the user to be able to just download a file you point to from your Dynamic Web CMS homepage. What you need to do is simple:

• Prefix your filepath with:

  /Admin/Public/DWSDownload.aspx?File=



• If your file is here:

  /Files/files/myFile.txt



• Resulting URL:

  /Admin/Public/DWSDownload.aspx?File=/Files/files/myFile.txt

If the file path is written using Javascript you should

escape()

the file path.
