Re: how can i offer a download?

1) Spell Check....next time before you post
2) Let's say your zip file is called dog.zip
3) You would upload it via ftp to your public_html
4) and create the following link for download

Re: how can i offer a download?

You might have to offer a file that large in separate download files. That is HUGE....will you have many dialup "customers" ? They will have an impossible time with that size file. Is there a way that you can break it into smaller chapters and give each chapter it's own download file? We do that with graphics files sometimes...we offer it in 2 or three parts.

Re: how can i offer a download?

My file manager seems to have a 10mb limit, not sure how you will get a file that large to upload.

Think you can change this in the FTP area in c panel
“FTP Account Maintenance” “Quota “
I was having a look at this one time for letting people have a page that they could use on my site. And was going to limit their uploading to 500kb. But was advised about security & decide against it.

Chris,
Come to think of it allstarfaces. Could your file not be uploading because your quota is set to low.

Re: how can i offer a download?

This allows you to offer up to 500 MB on a download. You may want to check it out. It's a free download site for offering downloads on your website. Just finished downloading plug-ins for PHP this way...hope it helps you...
