How do I get files from my computer and put them on my website so that they are downloadable to others??? They are specifically counter-strike source files such as maps and sounds ect. Please help if you have any knowledge on this topic!!!!!!

just upload a complete zip file or exe file to a web page (directory) using filezilla. If im not making sense just say so

What do you mean by web page directrory?? I like just started web page literally like yesterday. I started my index.html with adobe dreamweaver if that helps any. If you can give me step by step instructions or if you know of a tutorial (if it is too much to type) it would be much appreciated! Thank you

If u look on the file manager u will see "new folder" create one and then upload ur files to it. For downloads

So it doesnt have to be on the webpage for people to download it from css? Just in a folder? what would the url be if i just have it in a folder?? Thanks for the help

if you just had it in a folder it would be yoursite.subdomain.com/whatever you named the folder.php or html

Ok thanks for the help dude

no problem. Hope it works

I keep getting a 404 error saying that i have not uploaded an index file for this directory. im getting a little frustrated, any info that can help me out? thanks

hmm...um have you already been able to access your index page? Which needs to be titles index.html, index.htm, or index.php?

yes ive been able to access my index page

have you created a page for your downloads? Which should be in a new directory. If so go into your file manager, click on the directory, and click on the file that is in there. Make sure it has a .html, .htm, or .php ending on it.

no i havent. but i tried to put files on web page using dreamweaver but it just makes it a link to nowhere

Very, very rough guide, but you should be able to make use of it.

Ok, lets say you're wanting to host a file named "sounds.rar" for people to download. Here is what you need to do..

You need to have your main index page, of course. On this page, you can either link directly to the file or link to a page that contains a link to the file. We're going to link it to a page.

Name your downloads page "downloads.html" (or what ever you want to use) and make a link on the index that links to this page. (yourname.domain.com/downloads.html)

Upload downloads.html to the main htdocs folder (same folder with your index page)

Make a folder on the web server named "downloads" and upload "sounds.rar" in to that folder.

On the downloads.html page, make a link that points to "yourname.domain.com/downloads/sounds.rar".

When you click the link, it should prompt you to download the file.

Here is how your FTP would look,

root\
-- Downloads\
---- sounds.rar
-- downloads.html
-- index.html

Ok, Thanks for the help... I guess my server is down right now because I can't even get into my control panel, but when it comes back up I will give it a shot and hopefully it will work for me this time!!!

But when you say upload it to the main htdoc folder (same page where index is located) what do you mean by that?? OK... When im in control panel I click upload files ect. and my index page is right there and not in a folder.
