View Full Version : downloading ebooks
I have an ebook that I want to promote by putting on my website so that others can access it.
I realize that most ebooks are in .pdf format but this one is an .exe file.
Is there a way that I can do this?
Thanks
Simply place the file to be downloaded in the htdocs folder then on a web page in the htdocs folder place the hyperlink to the file:
<A href="http://yourdomain.com/filename.exe">Click to download the ebook</A>
A dialog box will pop up asking the user to either open or save the file.
Thanks Rick,
I'll give it a try.
By the way...would I do the same thing with a pdf file?

Basically, YES.
That is a basic LINK-TO-ALL format
With a PDF, it may automatically open in the Acrobat Reader. To download a file instead of viewing, instruct them to right-click on the link and choose Save...
