hello
i had MP4 files in my web server.
like: www.domain.com/folder/film.mp4
when visitor paste the link in browser. it will play the video ..
so how i can disable that .. i want just force download file because i think streaming videos will make site slow
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
Hi @mcgrykk64
You can create a .htaccess file and put it in /folder/, then edit the file to look like this:
<Location "/folder/">
<Files *.mp4>
ForceType application/octet-stream
Header set Content-Disposition attachment
</Files>
</Location>
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.
