Creating A Downloadable File

Creating a downloadable file is easier than it seems! It is literally just a normal link code without a target.

1. Whatever you want to make into a downloadable file, you must make it into a zipped file. (I think you can also make a Photoshop file downloadable without zipping it, but I havn't tried it so I can't guarantee it.)

To create a zip file, select the items you want to make downloadable, right click and select "Compress To filename.zip"
A zipped file will appear to where ever you've zipped it to, and you can rename it whatever you want.

2. Upload your zipped file to your FTP server. Or if you prefer, you can upload it to a free server that allows you to upload zipped files. (E.g. Ripway, but there server isn't always reliable from my own experience.)

3. Now use the code provided below, and where it says 'URL HERE', paste in the URL of your zipped file. (Take in mind that it should end in .zip



Here's an example: (The download file does not actually exist, but is there for example)
