How to Create A Download Page In A Web Site
1) Create a new folder within your website root directory
and name this folder to hold your download file items which
may be PDF, EXE or ZIP files, etc. For the sake of example
lets name the download folder; dl-products. You know that
means download products. And let's name your product ebook-
xyz.pdf.
Copy your download files like; ebook-xyz.pdf into the dl-
products folder. you can have several download items in your
download folders named anything you want to name them.
2) To make a download page you create a new webpage in 123ww
3) Add written content to your webpage that will instruct
your visitors on downloading.
4) To create download links write text that says something
like; Click here now to download item X. Now Highlight that
text in 123ww and while it's still highlighted you go to the
Menu > Insert > Hyperlink > URL box and type in the web
address to create your download web address.
Note: This is where you have to add all the file name
elements into the web address as such:
http://www.YourSite.com/dl-products/ebook-xyz.pdf
Also: Be sure not to have any space between your characters
when creating your download links or any http:// links used
for websites.
Therefore, you include the http:// which is already added in
123ww. Then you add in www. Then your website .com or .net
domain name (could be .org, etc) then the download folder
name which in this example was "dl-products" and finally the
file name which in this example we called ebook-xyz.pdf.
Notice each element included within the link created from.
Domain Site name >Folder> File. The product file is within
the folder and is linked in the above web address so when
you give out the download web address it can be found and
downloaded.
IMPORTANT: When you create this download address you must
understand the navigation of it as you are building this on
YOUR computer's hard drive first THEN after it's completed,
you then must load the files up to your web server. That's
called FTP, file transport protocol. I have a free report
that tells you how to do it and you can get it here:

If you do not understand setting up a website as #1 above
