Hello
I would like to create a page where people & friends can go and download
different files (different extenstions) but I have no clue on how to go about
it.
Let's say I go to download "anything" and a grey box comes up explaining
what the name of the file is, it's size, options to "save" or "run" etc etc..
I want to do that.
A link to where I can get more info will help me as well. Thank you

File | Import the files into your FP web. Create links to the files on a
page. Publish to your remote web.

You may want to ZIP the files, first.

usually if you link say to a video, then it will download and attempt to play in
a media player (for instance Quicktime).

if you put that file in a ZIP (Winzip) file (or use the Windows "zipped
folders" - same thing I think) then if the user clicks that, the download box
will come up. They download the ZIP file, uncompress it when done, and the file
they want will be inside that.

If they need Winzip, it is free for trial 30 days and then only a few dollars to
purchase. THere are probbably other things around (compression tools) that are
free....

So, whatever you want to download rather than open in the application e.g. PDF
files will open in Adobe Reader, rather than download or same with Word docs or
Powerpoint files - if the person has that applicatio, otherwise it *will*
download but they won't be able to open the file unless they have an application
that supports that file ext/format.

Microsoft have 'readers' for its MS Office files eg a Word Reader, Excel Reader,
Powerpoint Reader - all they do is allow the file to be opened and viewed - they
are NOT the full applications.

Hi, just create a folder called "upload" and put you rifles in there. The
create a page in you root web and make links to the items. The easiest files
to download are either zipped or pdf files.

I prefer to keep my rifles in a locked gun cabinet.

lol - in this case the 'grey box' is your gun cabinet, not the "download"
dialogue...?. :-)
