Down Link?

FrontPage has an upload form, but does it have a download one as well? I am
keeping a spreadsheet in the fpdb file and a direct link to it doesn't seem
to work. It just says the file cannot be found when the path is indeed
correct. Otherwise I guess I'll have to move the file to a different folder
type.
 
No, it doesn't have a download form. The problem here could very well be
that web server want's to protect the files that are in the fpdb directory.
That prevents people from sniffing around your forms to figure out the name
of the file the data is being saved to and then downloading it. Also, check
for illegal characters in the name of the file. Even a space is an illegal
character in a URL.

Hope this helps,

The fpdb and _private folders are protected, so if you want users to have access to content, the
content can not be placed in either of these folders.
