Hello,

I'm trying to upload a zip file (using frontpage) so someone can download it. Is it possible with frontpage and if so, how do I do it? Not sure if this is the right room to post this but I have no idea what code to use... if any.

Thanks for the help.

I don't have Frontpage so I wouldn't know about that. But all you need to do is upload the file (if you can w/ frontpage than do that or with any other ftp program like FileZilla) and give the other person the address of the file. For example: yoursite.com/document.zip.

Not sure if this helps any...

FrontPage has a publishing feature that will do what you want. It's been so many years since I've used FP that I can't tell you where to look for it, unfortunately. But it's somewhere in there.

On the other hand, jyoz22 has good advice that you might want to follow. Any web hosting account will allow FTP access, so this would solve your problem right now, and be a good skill in the future. The easiest way is to just use Windows; open Windows Explorer and type ftp://yoursite.com into the address bar, log in, then you can drag and drop the zip file to upload it.

Or, an FTP client like FileZilla or WebMaestro ( an interesting one, but I have to say that since I wrote it ) will upload the file to your site. So then you would give your friend the address http://yoursite.com/yourZipFile.zip, in an email or however. You have to log in to use FTP to upload/download files, but you can then access the same file with HTTP without having to log in - it's open to the world.

Thanks you both for the help. I guess the best thing to do is learn what FTP is all about. I suppose I've put it off long enough.

Appreciate the help!
