Re: Download File using CGI

Ah, i see

At the moment i am outputting the contents of the other files to the screen so the user can view them at their discretion, but if a want to be able to download the files then i should, possibly, start a new script that would just print the headers first, thus downloading the files.
Cheers

Any ideas on where the files are downloaded to ?

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, you can't know where the files are stored after they're downloaded - if they're not just displayed inline anyway. You probably shouldn't care about it, since there's nothing you can do about that - the content-dispostion header is just a hint for the browser.
