that''s all you would need:
link_to(''download file'', "/docs/test.pdf")
assuming a file test.pdf exists in rails_root/public/docs

The file(s) that the user would download should reside somewhere within RAILS_ROOT/public or a subdirectory thereof. If the file was RAILS_ROOT/public/files/myfile.pdf, you would use the link_to method like this: <%= link_to "linked text", "/files/myfile.pdf" %> This would create the following HTML, or something very close: <a href="/files/myfile.pdf">linked text</a> Generally, Rails looks for static files relative to public/, so when a request for "/files/myfile.pdf" comes in, it will look for "RAILS_ROOT/ public/files/myfile.pdf". So, that''s how to create the link and how to specify the path. Whether or not the user will be asked to download the file will depend upon the file type and the user''s browser preferences. When I access a PDF, my browser automatically displays it using an Acrobat Reader plugin. If I request an unknown file type, it will ask me if I''d like to download it. I don''t think that there is a way to make sure that the file is literally downloaded and saved on the user''s computer (somewhere other than /tmp or similar) without changing the extension, and that is not advisable. -Kyle On May 6, 8:16 am, Sunny Bogawat <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Thorsten Mueller wrote: > > that''s all you would need: > > > link_to(''download file'', "/docs/test.pdf") > > > assuming a file test.pdf exists in rails_root/public/docs > > from rhtml i want a link when user click on that link it ask where to > download and if file is in another directory how to specify path > -- > Posted viahttp://www.ruby-forum.com/.--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

You still can''t be 100% what the users browser will do though.

Sorry, I thought that would be obvious enough. It''s in a controller method that''s set up to handle the request for the csv file (as only a controller method could).
