Save a file where? On the server’s filesystem or the client’s? Not
much info in this question…

Hi Salil,

I think you want download file option. For example on hitting a URL you
want user to download a zip file code for it you can do something like
this -

class MyController < ApplicationController

def downloadzip
send_file “path_to_file”, :type=>“application/zip”
end
end

Thanks

The most reliable way to get a file to download every time (regardless
of content type) is to send a Content-Disposition header set to
‘attachment’. See this doc:

(on the MS KB, but the header works everywhere).
