How do i enable downloads from my site ???

[eibbor_oxford]

Hi. can anybody answer me this simple question please.

I have found this great program and i would like to allow visitors to my site to be able to download it. (with the authors permission of course!) but how do i make it DOWNLOADABLE ??
Do i need a particular server technology ?? or can i just place a link to the executable and insert the .exe into my site somewhere..?

please help, it's prob so easy that nobody ever writes anything about it on the web.I 've been scouring for ages..
i must be real dumb :(

Thank you

thanks CyCo, although i didn't try your idea immeadiatly, it inspired me to try something just as simple which i didn't even think of. it's all down to IMPORTING a file as opposed to INSERTING a file.. doh! i knew it would be simple !!!
told you i was thick !

Also thanks for responding so quickly. i only posted the message 15 mins ealier!

thanks again :)
