Downloading from site

[McBuff]

My apologies if I missed this in the tutorials or in a thread.

How do you make a file availiable for download from my site? For example, an audio file or a powerpoint file.

Thanks,

Re: Downloading from site

Use 'FTP Manager' to transfer the material to your server.
You can create a new folder to put it in, or just place it in your
public_html folder. Then create a button or text link to the file
paying attention to the location and the extention. If you place an
mp3 into public_html, then use: http://www.ursite.com/ursound.mp3
If you create a folder on your server called music then use,

http://www.ursite.com/music/ursound.mp3

When your visitor clicks the link, the file will download to their computer.

hi guys, I will just add an important note:

When you create a link for the file make sure you select "file:" in link type, if you keep it as http: it might just open the file in the page.
