How/Where do I place my download file, so users can download it?

Hello

I am working on my first Web-Site and I have a setup application program I would like users to be able to download, and install on there computers.

I am using DreamweaverMX with ASP Script.

Can you please tell me where I need to place my .exe setup for download, and how to do it please.

I presume that when the user presses a download button then the file is sent to them, how is this done please?

I would be very grateful for your help.

Thanks

Gary.

This is done exactly as you'd do a link to another page.

Example

Code:

<a href="yourfilenamehere.exe">Download the File</a>

Yeah, do what gesoft said. Just FTP the file to the same directory as the HTML page.
