I have a basic idea of HTML. I want to create the download link in my sample website, but I don't have idea of how to create it. How do I make a link to download a file rather than visit it?

This answer is outdated. We now have the
download
attribute as described here.
If by 'the download link' you mean a link to a file to download, use
the
target=_blank
will make a new browser window appear before the download starts. That window will usually be closed when the browser discovers that the resource is a file download.
Note that file types known to the browser (e.g. JPG or GIF images) will usually be opened within the browser.
You can try sending the right headers to force a download like outlined e.g. Anderson in the city. here. (server side scripting or access to the server settings is required for that.)

In modern browsers that support HTML5, the following is possible:
You also can use this:
This will allow you to change the name of the file actually being downloaded.

In addition (or in replacement) to the HTML5's
the browser's download to disk behavior can also be triggered by the following http response header:
<a download

This was the way to do before HTML5 (and still works with browsers supporting HTML5).

A download link would be a link to the resource you want to download. It is constructed in the same way that any other link would be:

This thread is probably ancient by now, but this works in html5 for my local file.
For pdfs:
<p><a href='file:///....example.pdf' download target='_blank'>test pdf</a></p>
This should open the pdf in a new windows and allow you to download it (in firefox at least). For any other file, just make it the filename. For images and music, you'd want to store them in the same directory as your site though. So it'd be like

The download attribute doesn't work in IE, it ignores the 'download' completely. The download doesn't work on Firefox if the href points to a remote site. So Odin's example doesn't work on Firefox 41.0.2.

The download attribute is new for the
<a>
tag in HTML5
<a href='http://www.odin.com/form.pdf' download>Download Form</a>
or
<a href='http://www.odin.com/form.pdf' download='Form'>Download Form</a>
I prefer the first one it is preferable in respect to any extension.

You can download in the various way you can follow my way. Though files may not download due to 'allow-popups' permission is not set but in your environment, this will work perfectly
another one this one will also fail due to 'X-Frame-Options' to 'sameorigin'.

There are times when you will end up on a web page that doesnât look like a webpage but instead looks like a folder and you can only find files being listed. This is because the webserver directory index file (index.html, default.asp and etc) is not present in the folder and the directory listings option in the webserver is turned on.
One of the reasons to offer directory listings is to provide a convenient way for the visitor to quickly browse the files in the folders and allow them to easily download the files to their computer. Sometimes directory listings are accidental due to webmasters who forget to include a .htaccess or a blank index file to prevent all the files from being listed.
To download a file, you can either left click on it or right click and select âSave link asâ in your favorite browser like Firefox or Chrome. However, if you need to download multiple or even all of the files from the directory including the subfolders automatically, you will need third party tools to help you achieve that. Here are 5 different methods that you can use to download all files from a folder on a website.
1. Download Managers
If you are a frequent downloader, you probably already have a download manager program installed. Some of the popular and feature rich download managers like JDownloader are even open source software. JDownloader is based on Java which means itâs cross platform and available for Windows, macOS and Linux.
While this program is able to download all files in a specific folder very easily it cannot recurse into sub folders. All you have to do is copy a URL to the clipboard while JDownloader is running and it will add a new package or set of packages to the Link Grabber with all the files. File types can be filtered out with checkboxes or deselected/removed manually. Note the JDownloader installer version contains adware.
https://heavenlyhz455.weebly.com/elements-of-biblical-exegesis-pdf-converter.html. Download JDownloader | JDownloader Portable (no adware on install)
This next download manager program is quite old but has a feature called Site Explorer which allows you to browse websites like in Windows Explorer. Flashget has more recent versions than the 1.96 weâre looking at here, but we found this version handles HTTP and FTP sites better.
After installing and running Flashget go to the Tools menu > Site Explorer. Enter the URL and then you can browse through the site and download the files in any folder. If the site is using FTP, folders can also be multi selected and the files inside those folders will be downloaded. Only the files inside the root folder will download if the site is HTTP. Make sure to avoid the Google Toolbar offer during install.
Download Flashget v1.96
2. Browser Extensions
Popular browser extensions for downloading files in recent times have been DownThemAll! and Flashgot for Firefox. Sadly, they donât work anymore since the change to the WebExtensions system in Firefox 57. However, there are still extensions available for both Chrome and Firefox that can download files from a website or FTP folder. Hereâs a couple of selections for each.
NOTE: All the browser extensions below will only download the files from the root folder in the browser tab, they will not recurse into sub folders. If you select a folder from the download list it will simply download as an unknown file.
Extensions for Chrome (and Chromium Based Browsers)
Chrono Download Manager is one of the most popular extensions of its type for Chrome. There are some advanced options but itâs relatively straightforward to quickly download all the files in a folder. Click the Chrono toolbar button and switch to the sniffer mode with the top right button in the window.
Then, cycle through the tabs selecting all the files with the top checkbox, check files individually or use the file type filter boxes below. Click the âDownload All!â button and the files will be added to the queue and downloaded.
Download Chrono Download Manager
Download Master is another Chrome extension that downloads a load of files in a folder pretty easily. It works in a similar way to Chrono but is a little more straightforward to use and what you see in the main window is it, there are no separate settings or options windows.
After you press the icon to open the download window all you have to do is check the file extension filter boxes, supply a custom filter or add files manually. Then press Download. As all the selection filters are in the same window it makes Download Master a bit faster to select multiple files or all files at once.
Download Download Master
Extensions for Firefox
Simple Mass Downloader is a pretty good option for Firefox since the classic old extensions no longer work. Hss-2.78-install-a-393 conduit the best software for your system. It also has some useful features like being able to add downloads from multiple tabs at once and add automatic folders to directly download files of certain types into specific folders.
Files do not automatically populate the resource list and you have to click the âLoad Page Linksâ button to start. The checkbox at the top will select all files at once while the extensions or text filter boxes at the bottom will filter the list by whatever characters are entered. Files can be added to a queue or downloaded directly with the buttons at the bottom right.
Download Simple Mass Downloader
The final extension weâll talk about is DownloadStar for Firefox. Itâs not much different than the options weâve mentioned above but to make all files visible you have to click âShow media from linksâ at the bottom left of the window or only images will be shown.
The filter checkboxes donât have a select all files option but simply putting an asterisk â*â into the Fast Filter box will quickly do that. The button to download the files isnât immediately obvious but itâs located at the top right with the number of files to download in brackets.
Download DownloadStar
To download using something other than browser extensions or download managers, try the methods on Page 2.
