anonymoose @teksavvy.com	i want to point my friends to a video clip but want them to get the download window instead of streaming it in the browser. i read that you need to add this line to the .htaccess file to do it: AddType application/octet-stream wmv but im not sure how or where to put that line. this is how my .htaccess file looks now IndexIgnore .htaccess /.?? ~ # /HEADER /README /_vti <Limit GET POST> order deny,allow deny from all allow from all </Limit> <Limit PUT DELETE> order deny,allow deny from all </Limit> AuthName mydomain.com
