.zip file to Download Link

3 replies
Does anyone know how to make a .zip file into a download link?

I tried to do it with Media on WordPress but got a message saying the file is to large:

BeSuccessMarketer2015_p-1.zip exceeds the maximum upload size for this site.

How can I get this product to my subscribers where there is no limitation on the upload size?

This .zip was 171 MB...can I send something that large (there videos) if so how can I do it?

    If it's that big...you will need to upload it to your site without using the WordPress "media" feature.

    The simplest way is via FTP...or you could use cPanel depending on your hosting.

    https://filezilla-project.org - free FTP software.

    Create a folder...call it "resources", or downloads, or whatever...doesn't matter. Or you can just upload the file via FTP to a folder that already exists in your WP install.

    Filezilla is pretty simple...it's drag and drop.

    Hope this makes sense. If not I can try to elaborate or find a tutorial video.

    Once it's uploaded...you just need the link. So it would be

    Code:
    www.yourwebsite.com/foldername/BeSuccessMarketer2015_p-1.zip

    • The ftp answer given above is definitely the a good solution, however I would question asking people to download a file of this size.

      If the zip file contains a number of individual videos, could you not split them up and zip the separate files. You could then have a download link for each of the files. I think this would make life a lot easier for all concerned.

      Hope this helps

    Hi gjhabs8

    The best method is to store your files in amazon s3, then copy the download link for each file and paste it in your website.
