# Attach

## Description

The `attach` function allows you to attach file in the `/public` directory onto the web response. This allows the files to be downloaded by the end-user.

## Examples

1. The following example attaches the installer found at `/public/downloads/installer.exe` onto the response, when the `http://localhost:8080/app/install` endpoint is hit:

   ```
    Server {
        listen *:8080 http

        route get '/app/install' {
            attach 'downloads/installer.exe'
        }
    }
   ```
