Force Files Like PDF Download using htaccess
March 19, 2008 |
Sometimes you want files in certain format like PDF to be downloaded instead of opened in new browsers. Because such files normally have very large size and may cause your browser run out of memory. With Apache .htaccess, file force download can’t be easier. See the example below:
<FilesMatch "\.(pdf|mp3)$">
ForceType application/octet-stream
</FilesMatch>
This example will download all pdf and mp3 files when directly linking to them. If you view them in a web page, they will display, but if linked directly to them they will show you the save box. (Files don’t seem to download if they are saved in cache Ctrl+F5 to fix that).
