Re: Linking my folder

say you have a word document named "snooker2008.doc" on your computer.

open the ftp.

on the window that shows the online area, double click or open the folder called "web". i am unsure what appears there on a free hosted site, but on my domain names, each one has a folder there. if it is the same for the free sites, that named folder should be your "main" folder where most of your webpages are located.

if you upload to that "named" folder, then you can add a link to your webpage to the file as described before.

if you create a new folder inside that named folder, say something like "schedules" and then upload the file to that, then your link from your webpage would need to include that folder too like this...

link text

(if you are using wizard for webpages, then i have no idea how that works for links).

Re: Linking my folder

Hi
I am using the website wizard and after updating the java to use on the ftp and I transfered the files across to the web window, and I can see them in the wesite manager, I have also shortened all the document names and still I can't see them on my web site, do you think it might be that I have the free website and not a domain name, I have thought about a domain one, but I don't fancy transferring all my details at this moment in time.
Thanks again
Tina

Re: Linking my folder

"Free hosting accounts are limited to the following file types:
.htm, .html, .gif, .jpg, .png, .txt, .swf, .mid, .rmi, .au, .wav, .js, .css, .ico, .bmp, .class, .dcr"

So it looks like as someone suggested, your best bet is to change the .doc to a .htm or .html and upload that. But the appearance may suffer.
