I would like to add a link which will allow users to download a file from my
site but I can't seem to find out how this can be accomplished.

Thanks in advance.
 
Import the file into your web and then create a link to it just like you would to link to
another page.
Then publish.

Assuming you already have the file in your site somewhere, select the text
you want to create the link on, then go to the menu and select Insert -
Hyperlink and select the file to link to...

Thats it.

PS - there is a Hyperlink button as well on the toolbar. Looks like a world
with a paper clip.

P.
 
Actually it's 3 links of a chain.
Hyper...."link" !!!

Add a normal hyperlink to the file -- Insert > Hyperlink.

Remember, import the file first, link to it, save the changes, publish the
html page and the downloadable file.

Suggestion: perhaps put the file in a ZIP folder first if it is a large
movie or sound file and link to the ZIP file.
 
If the file is downloadable (not an MsOffice document, PDF, or movie
etc. that will open in a browser or "helper" application) the download
dialogue will automatically appear asking for a download location.
 
What I'm try to get them to do is download an mp3 file.
With the code I am using now it is just opening a blank page titled the mp3
document.
