title: How do I link to a file to download that a browser can’t view?
body: <p>In HTML, how do you link to a file that the browser can only download, not view? For instance, say I have a zip file, <em>my-program.zip</em>. I want visitors to my website to be able to download that file when they click a link. The link would look like this: <a href="http://example.com/" rel="nofollow">download my program</a>. On my webserver, the HTML file and the zip file are in the same directory, so the relative path of the zip file is simply its filename.</p>
  
  <p>But if I just link to the file with an <code>&lt;a href="my-program.zip"&gt;</code> tag, the browser wouldn’t recognize the link, right? Because browsers can’t open zip files. So what is the proper way to link to it?</p>
