I want to include a way for viewers of a web page to select a hyperlink that
will allow them to download a demo file of an application.
 
create a link to the file the same as with any other file in your site.
 
Th file is there, a link points to it, but I receive the message "The page
cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed,
or is temporarily unavailable.
 
What is the file extension? If you're site is on Windows Server 2003 and the
file extension has not been configured as a mime type that tells the browser
what to do with it, you will get that message. If it's a file you want
people to download, maybe you should put it in a zip file.
