try using this line of code for the file download - assume that you want to
put a MyResume.pdf file for download and that file is located in
virtualdirectory/Resume folder on your machine

<a href="Virtualdirectory/Resume/MyResume.pdf">Click Here To Download My
Resume</a>

when the user clicks on this link, the browser will ask the user an option
to "save this" or "open this file from present location" ... the user then
can download the file or likewise ...

hope this helps

Hello,

I have a file which I wish I want to put on my site.  I was wondering if
somebody could please tell me how I go about setting this up.

Many thanks.
