downloadable files

If I want to give someone a link to download something directly from my site, where do I put the file and what will the link be to give them?

Say you want to put all your downloadable files in a folder called downloads.

If you want to give someone the ability to download something from this folder, you would give them a link that looks like this:


<a href="downloads/file1.zip">Click here to download File1</a>

The above code assumes that your download folder is inside your public_html folder.

Thanks!
What is the difference between the public_html and the public_ftp folders?

You can follow directions in the HostMonster help area to set up anonymous ftp file transfer to and from your public_ftp folder. This is not set up by default. Just do a search for anonymous ftp in the help area.
