Hello,

I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this question, but I cannot
find a more relevant forum.

I am using Visual Web Developer and using the FileUpload Control to upload
files to the web server just fine.
But, why is there not a FileDownload Control? How can I allow users to
download files from the web server?

There was no way for you to know it (except maybe by browsing through some
of the previous questions in this newsgroup before posting yours - always a
recommended practice) , but this is a classic asp newsgroup. ASP.Net bears
very little resemblance to classic ASP so, while you may be lucky enough to
find a dotnet-knowledgeable person here who can answer your question, you
can eliminate the luck factor by posting your question to a group where
those dotnet-knowledgeable people hang out. I suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet or the forums at www.asp.net.
