I am interested in your topic but I dont get your question.

The tool too use is an ftp client to upload the small program.

Are you asking about a specific tool in Front Page?

He never said that he was running it off of his own server. My advice would work if he set it up on a remote server, or a server with just one HD.

I know .. I wanna know for my web server.

What I have done was create a list of all the utils/ app's/ drivers etc... I have d/l from various sites and centralize them on another partiton I have.

So I have the web server running in the default folder of 2000 /inetpub/wwwroot I have all my utils/ apps/ drivers on G:\

I made a page with the list of files w/a small description of what the file is etc... I wanna be able to have ppl click the file to be able to d/l it. I'm able to do this if the file/s are in the /inetpub/wwwroot folder but I can't get it to work if there on another partition.

Islam: what you wanna do in front page is insert the image to your page your working on and then in the properties of the "image" link it to the file you want ppl to d/l. When you click the image properties on the page your working on there should be an option to insert a link. I havn't used front page in a long time to give you the step by step clicks and options but I know thats how it's done.


So the code will look like this
