How do I create a proper digital download from this pathway for my store?
/www/rareclassiccinema.com/MARTIAL ARTS/LION vs LION (ENG) 1981.mp4
the one I make keeps sending me back the online processed reciept with the download link.
Here it is: http://www.rareclassiccinema.com/cart/x5cart.php?download=22eb11aebb5cdce1182cd4b6d00ee1f2c7a3a040

When you click on the link, a download is made to the PC, but my PC refuses to save it in the download folder for security reasons.

Digital downloads contain a link to download something. Or did I misunderstand the question?

@Daniel W. the bottom link is not working. How do I properly use this path from my host to make the Digital Download work? This is where the file is located on my host.

Basically, file names on the Internet should not contain any spaces or special characters.
Normally only these American characters and numbers as well as hyphens and underscores:
a-z, A-Z, 0123456789 - _
This Link - spaces as %20 - is ok.

Directory name and file name with _ instead of spaces.

I am getting ready to try it in a few after I eat. Thanks for helping.

@Daniel W. thanks for all of your help. It works directly on Mobile Devices, but I have to Copy & Paste the Link to a New Tab for it to start the download process.
The link can be placed on the page as HTML code with the addition "Download".
Example:
<a href="/videos/video123.mp4" download>Video 123 download</a>
Information and test, see

Can you please give me an example using this path.
/www/rareclassiccinema.com/MARTIAL ARTS/LION vs LION (ENG) 1981.mp4
A) Video adress
When you click on an HTTPS video address, the video is played. The addition of "download" does not have any effect here.
Only with a relative address on your own web space is the video offered for download.
B) My Test
For my test, I had to save the video on my hard drive, upload it to the web space in the "videos" subdirectory via the FTP window in WebSiteX5 and then insert it into the HTML code as a relative video address.
C) Insert HTML code
For the test, I inserted the video download link as HTML code into a text object and clicked on the HTML symbol at the top so that it is outlined in blue, see screenshot below
The video download link as HTML code can also be inserted into an HTML object.
D) HTML code
<a href="videos/LION_vs_LION_(ENG)_1981.mp4" download>Video-Download: MARTIAL ARTS/LION vs LION (ENG) 1981</a>
E) 2 Screenshots (WebSite X5 / Browser)

Daniel W. I need it to be a timed link. that's why I brought the program. Also I have another company hosting my site. It doesn't have a video section.
I have now taken the trouble to set up a digital product in my demo shop with a download link to a video on another website. It seems to be very easy to do something like this with WebSite X5.
If it is different for your own shop, then perhaps post a link to your own shop for testing.

After the test, I removed the digital product with the video download from my demo shop.
