Hi @mcgrykk64
You can create a
.htaccess
file and put it in/folder/
, then edit the file to look like this:But it doesn’t make any difference, since “viewing” a MP4 file and downloading it is usually handled the same way unless you have a streaming module installed in Apache, which it doesn’t come with by default.
I suggest to turn (compress) them in WinRar for example film.zip or film.rar when you upload to your web, is a simple way to do it
