Hi All,

I've got a question,

I've created a upload page with which I'm able to upload file to my server.
When a file is uploaded it get a random filename on the server preventing that user get the error file allready exists.

In a DB I've stored the original name of the file.

Is there a way I can change the name of the download file for teh user
eg.

I upload a file called "this is an example.doc" it will be stored at the server as "jbytbxtwra436qwvyuxas564eq7wvf7q9xwe .doc"
Now when the user downloads the file I want it to be called "this is an example.doc" again..

is this posible??

Tnx!

Mrb
