I have a download link, which mysite.com/files/game.jar and that will download. But now I want people to download a folder with a text file and the jar file and a video. How can I do this?
PS: I have upload all the files to my site, but when I do mysite.com/files/game it just shows me all the files inside the 'game' folder.
Thanks!
I would suggest zipping / tarballing it up the folder and linking to that?
Would that not work?
As per my experience I have not seen a way to download a whole directory. You would have to dynamically zip the folder and make the resulting zip downloadable.
You can download single file like:
<a href="/images/test.jpg" download="logo">
Hope, this gives you right path.

I've made an HTML page which I have to send off which looks perfectly fine, I have zipped a folder with all my files in, but when I unzip it and open the page back up, some pictures are out of place and it looks like the page has zoomed out, any ideas why?
My guess is that you are not unzipping all the files in the zip and hence when you open the html file the css is not loading with it.
Unzip all the files to a folder - don't just open the zip file. Make sure they are all in the same directory structure as before (if any). Then open the html.
If that doesn't work, post the zip so we can see what gives.
I've been trying to resolve this issue with my website (www.wintonbrownmusic.online). I've attached a picture of how my site looks locally. When I upload it through GoDaddy, the site looks differently. I understand that others have had this issue but not sure where/how to change the CSS file to link to my website so it'll look the way that it should. Can someone assist?
I'm not sure what your hosting / creating it with, but I had a quick look at your site and found one issue.
Your HTML file is looking for the bootstrap.css file in the assets/css folder, but it appears to be in the root folder.
unless your hosting with something that is supposed to find it there.
not sure.
but when is use http://www.wintonbrownmusic.online/assets/css/bootstrap.css is doesn't work, but if I use http://www.wintonbrownmusic.online/bootstrap.css it does work.
hope that helps.
You have problems with path, If you open the console in inspect element it will show you that you have problems in calling the required files css, js, and other files.
You need to upload folders properly in the host, you need to add folders like you have in local folders in your computers. "assets" folder is missing and you just upload files inside there.
change your folder name as either assets or css ....
assets/css is a folder name because of the slash (/) browser looking for css folder inside assets folder...just give the folder
name correctly try to avoid usage of special character ,punctutation
in folder name
here's what I have so far but it downloads aff.php and then stops because there is no file in my FTP.
<button>Download</button>
One thing you could do, is remove the first href (href="https://www.abcgameservers.com/aff.php?aff=47") and replace it with onclick="window.open('https://www.abcgameservers.com/aff.php?aff=47')". That way you could have it open the page and download the file.
I have some PDF's sitting in a folder on my computer, is there a way to write a link to open them on to a webpage?
The main idea is when the site goes live the link will be used to download the pdfs from the folder, but obviously at a later stage the folder will be a temp folder on my website.
So at the moment i just want to open the pdfs from a link, and the final goal will be to have the links download them.
Can any one help me?
This is the file path to get to the pdf i want to link to.
C:\Users\Shaun\Documents\FormValue\CS1.pdf
How would i create the link?
If you want to have a link to a PDF, you just have to put the relative path to the file in the href attribute of an a tag. So let's say you had a folder called pdfs, with the file boom.pdf inside it, and folder called site sitting beside it, with the file site.html in it. Then all you'd have to do is put this link in the html file:
Link to a pdf
In most (all?) browsers now a days, that will open the PDF in a new tab. To download it you would right-click it and do the Save Link As thing. Just need to get the path in href right.
UPDATE
If you want to use the full path to the file, you need to prefix it with file://. Then you just put it in the href the same as with a regular link, ending up with something like:
Link to a pdf
This should work with your set up, but if the pdf and the html files are stored near each other, relative URLs are still a good option. A little bit of Google work should show you how to write those.
For each PDF just do what I talk about here.
<object height="950" data="sample-report.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="860">
<p>It appears you don't have a PDF plugin for this browser.
No biggie... you can <a href="sample-report.pdf">click here to
download the PDF file.</a>
</p>
</object>
It works with most browsers and it degrades nicely.
It sounds like youre asking if you can put a link on a web site to a PDF sitting on your computer. You can't. The files have to be either on another web site or on your site's server.
If you are using ASP.NET, you can have the link point to a handler that accepts a query string identifying the file, either by file name or a hash of the file. Then the handler can look in the folder for a file that matches the pattern, read the file as a byte array, and then write those bytes to HttpResponse.
