creating a download

[stressless]

After having viewed the tutorials a number of times...I was successful uploading my ebook, and also uploaded the intro, TOC and the first chapter as a give away...so that my customers could see what my writing is like. These uploads are all PDF documents.

I also published the thank you page...with the download link.

I can't get the download page to show itself so that I can test the download link.

Can anyone offer some words of wisdom?

Re: blue FTP

Stressless, I can't help you. Sorry about that. But, you just described the exact activity that I need help with. Can you find time to do a how to do it thing for me?
I have a pdf file on the desktop. I want it on the web in such a way that visitors can download it. Sounds easy enough and I followed instructions but it didn't turn out right, in fact it turned out now way at all. I still see the file in BV's ftp program but I don't have access to it to view on line or to down load. You're gonna love this! i don't even know how to start all over.

Your comments are appreciated

hey Dorothy...here is a little to confuse you...NOT

>>>have a pdf file on the desktop. I want it on the web in such a way that visitors can download it.

Hi Dorothy…I found some time…
A. you will want to create a button or text and make it into a link for downloading your pdf doc.Just create a web page…or something that you can add a link to…
B. Use blu ftp…its easy and upload the file you want downloadable.
C. C Be careful of the titles you give things…because everything must be perfect…or you get nothing.

I don’t know exactly how you intend to make a download button or text…but you should be able to have it downloaded from an email for that matter. The choice is yours…need help…just ask.

Dorothy…in reading your statement…it all boils down to the title you gave the uploaded file. If you want…start over…watch the video…title it again write down the title for future usage…and make a link on your page.

Remember…today is not a dress rehearsal!

Re: creating a download

Hi General...thanks for the response...
yes I published a download page

http://www.disciple-help.com/e-book_intro_chapter_one.pdf

and on the page is a link http://www.disciple-help.com/1chapdownload.pdf

this is to be the download to the first chapter. Not sure if this works.

I uploaded the complete ebook and will create a link on one of my sites to see if I have done things right...or oops.
