Creating downloads

how to make pdf file downloadable

[texasville]

This is embarrassing..but as long as I have been around..I never had to create a downloadable file. I have a brochure that I want people to be able to download. It's on a unix server. I definitely tried to google it first so I wouldn't appear stupid here but it just ain't working.
Somebody tell me how to do a right click download in simple terms. I think I am now a simpleton..lol

What's the file format? If it's a document then make a PDF file and simply put it on your server with a link from the site. Another option would be to ZIP the file and provide a link to that file.

In most cases you're just putting a link to the file and letting people download that way.

if you provide the url to a document or other web resource in the href attribute of an html anchor tag on your page, the browser provides the functionality for right clicking on the link and presenting the "Save Link as..." dialog.
as long as the document is web accessible and standard naming convention is applied you should be good to go...
