Hi Dave,

Basically you have to set the content disposotion to "attachment"  
eg..

     //setting the content type to an arbitrary one, so to make browsers 
     //definitely download the file. Some browsers simply ignore download 
     //instruction and display the content once they know its content-type to
     //be something displayable.
     response.setContentType("application/x-download");
     response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + 
filename);

  Subject: Download file from server and save on client


  I need to download a file from a server to client computer using Struts.
  I've implemented StrutsFileDownload from the Struts Wiki, but this displays
  the contents of the file 
  http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsFileDownload


  How can I save the file on the client drive instead of displaying the
  contents?
