They are my files located on my local directory - not from another site.

The files I have for download are various development files. I would like to put them in one compressed file so the user doesn't have to download multiple files. The zip file was created using Windows XP's zipped program.

Do you think I need to use a 3rd party zip program (such as winZip)?

I thought I've done this before and my memory tells me it was a very easy process - basically just put a link to the file as you suggested before... but it's been ages since I've done any web page design. I know for a fact thought that it was using files that were not altered or compressed by a Windows O/S integrated feature.

I think I know what's happening here, but I could be wrong.

Are you linking to the folder instead of providing a link to each file?

You need a separate link to each download, and to include the filename in the link, as in

subfolder/prog-1.zip
subfolder/prog-2.exe

That sort of thing anyway. Hope that's clear enough.

Edit. Sorry. Didn't see your latest post.

I can't see any reason why this shouldn't work. Just provide a link to the .zip file, as in my first example above.

Thanks. That is what I thought and that is actually what I have. Here is my code for the table row. I am placing the file in the same directory (for now) just to see if I can get it to work.

When I click the link, it first took me to the contents of the zip file in a Windows Explorer like window. Now (today) it is giving me the "page cannot be found" in the IE window.

You are trying to link to files on your own computer...you need to buy some webspace from a web hosting provider, or get some free space. You cannot link to files on your computer locally for other people to download over the Net, they must be hosted properly.

The way you are linking files would only allow you on your computer to access the file. (sorry if that's what your after doing)

Sorry if I confused you in my last couple posts.

The files are mine, meaning they are not contained on another site, nor were they created by anyone else.

I uploaded the zip file to a directory in my web space (on a web server with my ISP). The code example I gave earlier shows that the file is located in the same directory as the web page that contains the link (I did this for ease, at the moment).
