[Davisman]

Hiya,

You see I'm making a sie out of HTML and I'm wondering how can you put a downloads page onto a site so you can download files!

+Rep for the answer!!!!! :D

Thanks,

Davisman

[Rob]

Are you making it on frontpage or just doing the whole site in html?

[Mentor]

well, u upload pages, to the sever, which are then downloaded, and intprited by the browser.

if you want to upload a file, that u wnat to be downloaded, which is what i think u mean, pages which cannot be interppited by the browser open up the download dialgog.

.zip for exsmaple, or .rar or for and even .exe

[Rob]

If it's the HTML code you're wanting try this
<a href="FILE.EXE">FILE NAME</a>
Just edit the higher caps bits

[Davisman]

Hey I aint using any programs at all (don't have any).
Hey rob is that the GTML for the downloads?

+rep to both of you!!!! :D

[Rob]

Then Upload the file and link it as /FILE.zip :)

[Davisman]

Hey thanks for that +rep, but will people be able to download it into their drive from my site?

[Luckyrare]

Yes, Once they get the file they can Un-Zip the file :)

[Davisman]

Ok, I'll try it out!!!!! :D

P.s keep i mind this is a free server not a payed one!!!!! :D

[Luckyrare]

It wont make any differnce.
Aslong as it can Host .Zip files and I think even freewebs Hosts .zip

[Davisman]

Well will people be able to click on it and it wqill come up with a downloading page?????

[Rob]
