How can I post or add a PDF, DOC, MP3 or other file on my site for visitors to download?

The exact approach can vary, depending on if you are hosting your site using Adobe Business Catalyst or another hosting provider. In either case, however, the steps would be something like this:

  1. Use an FTP client to create a "documents" folder on your site.
  2. Upload the files you want to link to into this folder.
  3. Add links to these files in Muse using the full URL (i.e. http://mysite.com/documents/filename.....

The Preview Page/Site in Browser options in Muse should work fine. Clicking on a link to one of the documents will open it in the Browser. The built-in Preview feature in Muse will work for some document types and not others. It just depends what you're linking to.

Can either of you provide the web address of the file that is asking for the password?

Of course, you should not post the username and password here, just the link to the file...

You don´t need to give your FTP login, just check if are you using the protocol HTTP before the URL.

You can put the downlond link in any object like a image for example.

You can check on your control panel on your host provider if this online folder has a password too.

Sorry about my english.

I'm hoping to put a link on my site so that a click will allow a user to download a .pdf. And I want to put a little gif of the .pdf logo to use as the link anchor. But I followed the instructions and I get a "bad request" error. Any ideas to help?

the site is www.milibrodelasletras.com

Thanks,

Dan

What if I am using Business Catalyst? One of the reason that I went for business catalyst was to avoid having to do the FTP server business. Thanks.
