Downloadable Files

[Guest]

Looking for the easiest way to place files on a website for download. Need a
way to distribute files too large for email but I have capacity to place them
online with my ISP. Thought I could place them on a webpage for access and
download. What is the easiest way to do this with FP 2003?
Thanks,

Zip the files, import them into your site, and create hyperlinks to them.

With your FP web open, File | Import them into a folder. Then, create links
to them on a page, save, publish to your remote web.

You may want to put them in ZIP files, first.

publishing this on my comcast space. is there a way to have this be one big
file for upload? unsure as to how to upload this as other than just the html
file but i may just be exposing my ignorance....

Each file is a separate file in the folder. Unless you zipped all files
into one ZIP file, they would publish as individual files.

OK. Made self-extradting files, imported them, linked them and when I click
on the file in the website I get an error message directing me back to the
comcast webpage.
ideas?
