What I need to do, is specify the default directory for this file to be saved to. Does anyone know how to do this?

How would the PHP code know what directories exist on the remote machine? You can set the filename, not the directory.

header (Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=download.tar); readfile($filename); ===end code snippet= What I need to do, is specify the default directory for this file to be saved to. Does anyone know how to do this? WILD GUESS: Some browsers might let you use a full pathname in the filename= bit and prompt with that pathname, if the user even has such a pathname in the first place... If not, there probably isn't any way to do that. -- WARNING [EMAIL PROTECTED] address is an endangered species -- Use [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wanna help me out? Like Music?
