I have a Word doc I want to upload to my site but when I ftp it to my server it doesn't provide a download prompt. I guess I need to make it a zip file. How do I zip this file up so people can download it?
Well, your users can still download the doc file as it is. Instead clicking on it, they can right click on the doc file link and click "save as" and that will bring download prompt. You can put these download instruction below your doc file on your page. But if you like to convert the doc into zip file, you can simply do it by right clicking your doc file in your windows folder, select "send to" and the click "compressed (zipped) folder" and that will convert the doc into zip file. Hope that helps.
