How do I put a zip file on my server so that someone can click on the link and it will automatically download? Is it as easy as just loading the file only a non-htaccess protected URL on my server, or is it more complicated than that?

Be prepared though, there will always be someone out there using a Mac with an old browser that doesn't understand what a .zip file is and will thus display the file as text.
And good luck trying to explain to them how to fix it.

I'm sending content to page designers - if they don't know what a zip file is at this point, I probably don't want to utilize their services. :P

I know some very good graphics/html people that would not have a clue what to do with a zip file....don't know shit about ftp, don't know anything much about how the web really works.... But they are whizbang at putting pages and shit together.... They know how a link works, how css works, they know everything they need to do their jobs, but they are NOT webmasters... They are designers.....
