Linking a PDF to URL using HostMonster

3 replies
Good morning everyone,
this is my first post, so hello and it has been a pleasure reading everyones info on here and the War room. My eyes have been truly opened as I transition from mlm to IM.

I do have a question that I hope someone can help with. I have a hostmonster account, and I'm creating a PDF. Does anyone have a step by step for loading the pdf on hostmonster, so it can be a clickable url link?
Thank you Thank you

    Log into your cpanel

    Scroll down to the blue bar that says "files" and click on the icon that says "file manager."

    Make sure the site that shows in the dropdown box is the one you want to load files up to.

    You will want the radio dial that says "document root folder" selected.

    Click on the "go" box.

    At the top of the screen in the next area, you will see a yellow folder that says "upload"

    Click on it.

    It will give you the option to upload the files from your computer.

    Upload your pdf. Make sure you don't have any spaces in the name of the file and take note of the upper case, lower case, etc.

    When the bar reads 100 percent complete (should take a few seconds) click on the "back to home" link - it will also have public html written at the end of that link.

    It will show you back inside where your uploaded files went.

    Now, if your site is named http://mygreatestwebsiteofalltime.com and you want to test where the download is found, here is what you do.

    Lets say your pdf file is called bestebook.pdf

    Go to your browserbar, and you would put in this address:

    http://mygreatestwebsiteofalltime.com/bestebook.pdf

    This will take you directly to downloading the ebook.

    This is case sensitive!

    Good luck.
