How To Create Software Download on my webpages?

I cannot figure out how to let people download software from my website. I have tried to link to it, but when I try to find the software to link to, I cant seem to find it.

Is it supposed to be placed somewhere else? Like in the cgi bin, maybe?

I hope I have made it clear , I just want people to be able to download a software program right off of my page.

Its done on 99% of all sites that I go to, but for some reason I cannot find 1 single website that explains it.

  • Try zipping the files first, and leave the cgi bin alone.

    Place the zip file anywhere in your public_html, or in a sub directory.

    Copy the full path of the file and create your link, for example; http://yoursite.coms/folder/software.zip


    Because zip files cannot be opened in a web browser, the browser will automatically start to download.

    I hope this helps you.

  • convert to zip or rar format, upload it to your host, then link it.
