FAQ
How can files be made available for download?
For most file formats, if you click on them to download them then they will open in a new tab - e.g. PDF files. This is not always what is required.
This behavior can easily be prevented - the only requirement is that the Apache mod_headers module is activated. If this module is available in your setup, just insert a .htaccess file with the following content:
<FilesMatch "\.(?i:pdf|jpg|gif)$">
ForceType application/octet-stream
Header set Content-Disposition attachment
</FilesMatch>
