Thread: what's next?

I want to create links for my visitors to download 3 pdf files.I uploaded with file manager the 3 pdf e-books.What's next?

You need to create links, just like you would for another page, on your webpage. The links would look something like: http://www.mywebsite.com/nameoffile.pdf

but how can I highlight (as the tutorial shows) the pdf files (they are in the cgi-bin folder-uploaded them with file manager)to create the links?

Why have you put them in your CGI bin folder? Your link is trying to find them in your public_html folder (along with all your other pages) so that's where they need to be. Use CP File Manager or FTP Manager to move the pdf files to the correct place and your links should work fine.

Now everything is O.K Thanks
