How to force download files via .htaccess?

@deron 

To force download files via .htaccess, you can use the following directives:

1. AddType application/octet-stream .pdf .xls .doc

This directive tells the server to treat the specified file types (in this case, PDF, XLS, and DOC files) as binary files that should be downloaded rather than displayed in the browser.

1. Header set Content-Disposition attachment

This directive adds a Content-Disposition header to the response, telling the browser to treat the file as an attachment that should be downloaded rather than displayed.

You can add these directives to your .htaccess file to force download files of specific types. Remember to adjust the file extensions and types as needed for your specific requirements.
