I bought a plan www.pvpowa.com from powweb so I could put files on there and send links to several people so they can download. I put my files on there with ws_ftple in a folder I created. All I want to do is have someone put in an adress and they download the file

So long as the folder you created is in htdocs it would then be at www.pvpowa.com/folder-name/file-name.zip

Your root folder, you should see it when you login with ws_ftp if it's not there you can just create one withy the MkDir button. All files you want visable to the public must go in the htdocs folder.

When you open your ftp window you will see that it is divided into two windows. In the left window you should see something like ftp05.powweb.com. Single right click on that and choose to make a new folder called htdocs. Hit enter. You should now have your /htdocs folder in which you will place all viewable files for your site.

I get the directory listing at http://www.pvpowa.com with 3 movies so you must have your files in htdocs now. If you would like a webpage with a description, links, etc.. to appear instead of the directory listing, name it index.html and pop it into htdocs, it will be served by default.
