create download buttons

[L Peaker]

I want to be able to create a button that can download my software for users
who visit my site. Can FrontPage do this and if so how.

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Yes, create a image our your button, import it and your file that is to be downloaded into your
current open FP web / site, insert image button on your page, then right click on it and select
Hyperlink, then link to your file for download.

You may need to check with your web host if the file is not named with a .zip extension if you can't
upload it.

Do the end users who dowload the file with the zip extension have to have
winzip software to view the file?

And is there another way to zip a file without using winzip.

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

No, if they have Windows XP, they can unzip files.

Windows XP users can zip and unzip files using Windows Explorer. (Right
click and Send to compressed folder to Zip, double click on the zip file
to unzip.).
