File Import your .exe into your FP Web Site, and then drag it onto your page to create a link to it

Have you checked with your host to see if they allow .exe files on their servers, as the folder
holding the .exe file must not allow it to be executed, just downloaded?

Check with your host and have them make sure it's in the list of available mime types on the server.

EXE file as in 1) a program, 2) a self-extracting zip file, a self-executable
powerpoint presentation (without need for Powerpoint) ?? Which are you trying to
link/provide for download?

exe's are used for a lot of things.

All you do is link to the file then up load the web page and the file you're
linking to...when the use clicks the link they will get the download dialogue
box, with the option to "Save" or "Open from Current Location".
