File upload/download - help appreciated !!!

[Fredrik/Sweden]

hi everybody!
I have a few thoughts about file uploading/downloading, through the
browser.
Heres what i want to do:
When i click on the "upload file" in my website i want to be able to
choose a file and upload it straight away into the 'Files' table in my
database.
when i click "Download file" i want all files to be listed so i can
pick one to download from the database. that's it, quite simple
really, i think. I've searched the web, and there are lots of
components to download. i also tried a few codeexamples that i found.
none of those are doing exactly what i want. most of them are working
fine, but there's a lot of features that i don't really need. i'd like
to keep it as simple as possible, and i would also like to code it
myself so i can really understand what's happening.
I like one that i've tried from:

but the download-part is not really what i want. It displays some of
the files like .txt and .doc-files in the browser instead of
downloading them. is there a way to change this ? or is there an even
easier way of handling uploads/downloads. any suggestions, hints,
code, links...etc...are welcome.
the most simple solutions are often the best ones !
Thanks...!!!
