Linking to downloads



The simplest way to make a file available to be downloaded from your site is to link to it. You would simply create a link to it when a visitor comes to your site, they can click on the link. They then have an option of opening the file or downloading it.
To link to a PDF file for example:
1. Select some text or an image your want to link to another web site.
2. Click the "Hyperlink" button on the toolbar. A "Hyperlink" dialog box appears.
3. Select "A File on My Computer" from the Link Type pull-down box.


4. Click the Browse... button and select the file from your computer's hard drive.


5. Click the OK button.
When publishing, the linked file will be uploaded to your server automatically.
       If you published your pages with a third party FTP program, the linked file should be uploaded to the "files" directory on your server.
