Coderxyz Good question, I thought exposing the url more specifically, the xyz portion permanently to the user but now I guess that is not a good idea. My app relies on the bucket structure as in the example above to do its logic, so I can't be moving files around. The new Django users will get an idea to add a download option without and with a download link in the Django app after reading this tutorial. I am a trainer of web programming courses.

I like to write article or tutorial on various IT topics. The download option is a general requirement for any website like the online book, free application software, free games, etc. The file can be downloaded after executing a particular URL or clicking the download link and getting permission from the user.

The ways of downloading a text file without any download link and a PDF file using the download link in the Django app will be shown in this tutorial. Prerequisites: Before practicing the script of this tutorial, you have to complete the following tasks. Setup a Django App: Run the following command to create a Django app named downloadapp. We are first going to add our database to our project. In settings. Here the first function index is used to render the starting page where, the user will fill the forms.

Second function index2 is used to submit the form created in the index html page to our model upload. After saving the model we are going to call all the objects from the model and render to the index2 html page. HTML :- Here in this file we had created a form with method equals to post and specify the action or the URL to relocate after the user clicks on the submit button.
