Hello everyone,

I am relatively new on Django, in fact I got to know about it through 
Openstack Dashboard which works using Django. anyway I got a question and I 
been looking for it for a month now without getting any good results, I 
finally decided to ask some of the experts here. If I am violating any 
rules by posting it or if someone has already answered it, please tell me. 
I hope this community is friendly enough to oversee this.

I have already a Django setup running (you guessed it devstack), and it 
works fine. I have done plenty of editing already. But now I want to add a 
download button on a page, and by clicking to it, a file should be 
downloaded. Seems simple enough, but right now what I have done is adding 

<a href="{{ MEDIA_URL }}/test.file" %}" class="btn-download">{% trans 
"Downloadl" %}</a>

 in one of the files. This works perfectly ... however this link works but 
It is simple html encoding, and it works even when I am not logged in, 
bypassing the entire purpose of file security. I have tried to embed the 
code in some py files but then it gives me debug error.

So I will be really grateful if someone can guide me what to do here. All I 
want is to add a download button/link on a page and a file to be 
downloaded. I tried staticfiles and media_url methods, not the result I 
want. Please help me that where I need to make changes in which 
configuration files and how will it work.

Thanks in Advance 

Best of Regards,
