help please...

[Crammy]

completely new to this stuff.. so this may seem like a stupid question, but can someone please tell me how to link some text on one of my pages back to an mp3 i have, so people can download it? Im using dreamweaver mx and ws_ftp and cant find it in either of the help index's...

cheers!

hmmmm ok, im uploading the desired mp3 to the powweb server using ws_ftp, but cant figure out what its directory/filename would be as to link to it with the text... hope that makes sence...

i bet this is so simple, but my tutor/teacher isnt available...

Well, as I suggested, create a directory named "audio" (that way other audio file types could reside there as well as mp3's)

Then ftp your mp3 file up, open your audio directory and put it there, then your code would look like this:

<a href="audio/file-name.mp3">Text Here</a>

To clarify, make the directory named 'audio' in the htdocs folder - and when you upload everything the audio files go in the htdocs/audio folder - the index file goes in the htdocs folder and others go according to type (provided you make folders for them).

cheers, totally understand now, but should this new folder (audio) be within the htdocs folder or outside it?

cheers, totally understand now, but should this new folder (audio) be within the htdocs folder or outside it?Inside. (as a sub-folder)
