Title: Download file from menu
Post by: seanh on April 09, 2024, 08:22:33 PM
I have a label printer helper program that I want to make available to be downloaded from the help menu of my website.

I'm trying but nothing seems to work.
I've tryed a variation of Web40 download and also just putting the exe name in the URL
The browser just hangs and seems to do nothing.

This should be simple, and I'm sure it is once I find out what I'm doing wrong
So how should I do this?

The browser may appear to just hang, but perhaps it is downloading? see the downloading icon to see what's happening under there.

Problem is: There is no downloading icon. 
The downloads list doesn't contain anything new, the browser looks like it's doing something... but nothing ever happens

Update: Ichanged the file to download to favicon512.png and it worked.
But the exe does nothing, even if left for 10mins

Is there a file limit to the size that can be downloaded?
My exe is 162 MB  I've also tried a similar sized 'just data'  file in case the exe bit was causing problems and I have similar issues

Hi, in what path are the file you want to be downloaded?
It MUST be under the web folder.

Hi Alberto,
I give it the full path name, and yes it's in the web folder.

It look like there is indeed a size problem that I'll try and pinpoint.  It all works with smaller files.

I'm away for a few days Sean, but will investigate on my return.

I've experimented with a 200 meg file, and example 40, but it seems to work for me Sean.
