File Download

A File Download is used to host a file on your site. Visitors click on a link to the File Download, and depending on their web browser and the file type, it downloads immediately or opens for viewing in their browser.

Ways to create a File Download:

If you create a File Download using either of the first two methods, you will need to set the actual file that is to be downloaded. This also applies if you wish to change the file later.

To set the file to be download:

  1. Select the File Download in the Site Outline.
  2. Open the Page Inspector.
  3. Click the "Choose…" button.

  4. Select a file.


External Files

Sometimes, you may wish to allow visitors to download a file that isn't actually part of your site. In such cases, a File Download is not suitable. Instead, you should use either a link or an External Link page.
