Since they're zipped, import or copy and paste them into a folder in your web. Then link to them
like any other file and then "Publish."

Steve,
Thanks for your reply. Here's what's happening! I have placed them in a
folder, however, when you click the link, it goes to a "cannot open" web
page. I must be missing some vital step. I wnat them to click the link and to
be able to download the file. What am I doing wrong?

With the web open in FP, you have to import them into the web, then create a link to each.

How are you linking to the files?? If you're using absolute links such as:
href="http://www.sitename.com/folder/file.zip" the links won't work until it's published.
Use relative urls such as href="folder/filename.zip" and the urls will work in preview and preview
in browser and also when published.
Is this a published web so we can take a look.

what's weird is I've gotten it to work intermittantly on the concrete walk pcx drawing...works once, then not, then it works again...and only on the zipped pcx's...the pdfs seem fine.
no answer yet, just thought i'd stick my 2 cents in for a second.

Since the pdf files work and the zip files don't, I would think that either the zip files are not on
the server, or not in the proper folder, or that the links don't match the actual name of the
file.!!

it's funny that the browser want to browse a .zip file rather than Save As it... how did you zip them? maybe they're corrupted zips and the browser is trying to parse a pcx or corrupted zip?????
