That is default behavior for Internet Explorer. To display a text file. You could zip it on the server side so when they click the link it asks them to download the zip file.   Or if I actually answer your origional post:::: You could add your own mime type for your .ldif. If the browser does not recognize it it will ask to download the file. Do it on the HTTP Headers tab.   Add the mime type   extension - ldif Content type (MIME): x-ldif       Kevin Bilbee -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Doug Anderson Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 11:25 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Off topic - iis, web servers and txt files That's what I'm trying to get away from. Actually have it pop up to open or download. my users have problems understanding right click. Plus I'm rewriting it so that have to enter username and password to get to the link. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Bilbee To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 1:16 PM Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Off topic - iis, web servers and txt files In internet explorer right click your link and choose "Save Target As"   Kevin Bilbee -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Doug Anderson Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 11:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Off topic - iis, web servers and txt files Ok, I'm running IIS 5.0 on my imail server. I've written a program to read the ldap and create a ldif file. I put the ldif file (xxx.ldif) in a sub directory on the web server and when I put a link to it, it displays it directly in the browser. I want it to download, not display as text.   Any ideas on how to config IIS to make it download?   P.S. Once I get this program fully functional I'll put it out on my personal web site for download if anyone wants it. It's a console app made with .net that will create: csv, ldif, alias, or list-lst/txt files from the ldap.
