how to download Access file?

[weee]

I've seen administration systems that allow the administration person to download the datbase of the website by clicking a button.

How can I do that?

Thanks!

Make a link to the file using the anchor element.

<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/subdir/admin/dbfiles/database.mdb">Download Database</a>

I can't access to the "database" folder.

Well, you need to grant access... Why do you need to download the database anyway?

i want to do it for backup purpose.

You can use an http header to get the server to cough up the file to the user. In asp.net it uses response.addheader....

You said that you cannot access the folder which contains the database. Why not? Do you not have directory browsing permissions? Do you not know where it is?
