Adding a program

[Guest]

I found a program I would like to install on my front page website. It is an
..exe application. I can not seem to load this onto my website- how do I do
this? I am new to front page and would like to add this application.

You need to contact your web host to see if you are allowed to run .exe apps from within your web
space. also you may need to use a FTP application to upload it, if it is over 1 MB in size.

Do you mean add it for people to download??
If so, import it into your site and then create a link to it.

If you mean you want someone to be able to click and run it from a web page,
you can't

I know it will not allow me to run .exe, s there anyway to enable that, I am
only in the design phase. How about php?

Is it an .exe that you want to run on the server??
Some hosts will allow that, depending on what it is.

If you want it to do something on the visitors machine, it can not be done
from a web page.

It is a BMI program that I downloaded from the web, I am just not sure how to
get it on to the web page to be able to be used by vistors.

Your visitors will have to download the exe and run it on their machines.
Providing system security settings will let them.
Providing people will agree to download and run it.
An exe can "not" be run from within a web page, for security reasons.

Hi
It might be a good idea to Zip the program into a folder before you upload
so your server doesn't think you are trying to upload a program.
