HI,

We know that when we list a directory structure, all the details that is  
subdirectories and files are shown.  
When I click on the sub directory it links to the next dub directory and  
works fine.  
My problem arises with the files listed, when I click on the link to  
files I should download that file which I have clicked on

Please tell me how would I accomplish this .

Thank you
