You can upload files via FTP program to hosting server

To download a file through link. Simply zip a file with Winzip etc. or make a pdf and link to it with html authoring program

I don't really get it, Lajocar. Would you be able to explain it better? Thanks

Archulas,

Depending on your host, they might (but usually don't if it's a paid host) have file-type restrictions. So if you have a Zip file or an exe or whichever you can upload it to the server via FTP.

I'm not sure if you are familiar with FTP, but if you are you may skip the next paragraph.

To upload files via FTP you'll need an FTP program such as SmartFTP, which I recommend becuase it's free, secure and easy to use.

If you want folders to be downloaded you can use Windows (I assume you use Windows, forgive me if I'm wrong?) you can simply right-click the folder and zip it, then upload it - should you want to upload downloadable folders.

Hope this helps.
