when I click this link it sends me to a 'bad gateway' page. But yes I am looking for some way to have visitors click a link that sends them to an option allowing them to save a zip file.

I dont know if I have to store the zip files on some sort of file host online, or have them download from my computer?

I am very confused about the whole process. Ive searched this forum and google for an answer, but keep drawing blanks, please help!!!!

You don't need an option to download a zip archive. You just link to it.

1. You can store them on which host you want. That doesn't matter too much.
2. Don't do that!! Anywhere else would be ok, but not on your computer!

this forum sends me an email every time there is a response to my post and in the email your response had a clickable link, any ways, maybe you could recommend a free site that I could store a large amount of zip files on.

thanks for your patience, and your time!

That link was a random example link of how your link should look like.

I found this:

You need to put your zip folder in your root folder of your website.

Alright, I need help again. Im currently using filecrunch to host my zip files, but if a file is not downloaded for a month they delete it. Does anyone know a site that keeps your files for ever and allows files larger than 100 mb?

I searched on google but keep drawing blanks!

I checked out fizwig and I don't think it's really what I'm looking for. I just need a file host to host my zip files so I can link to them from my current site and visitors can download them from my site.

unless there is some way to do this through fizwig?

let me know

why don't you just upload it to the server you're using to host your website?

Or you can just make a geocities account and upload it there, i don't think they like that but it's worth a shot
