Hi all,

I would like my links to show the download options rather than opening the
file. Is there a way to do this in FP or a simple tag to insert?

Thanks in advance!

No. Web browsers will always try to open a file if they know what to do with
it. You can place the file you want into a .zip file as .zip files don't get
opened by the browser usually.

Hope this helps,
