Hi,

I am a beginner and I try to find out how to create a link so that the user
can download a file.

Thanks,
Doru

There are a variety of ways depending on your needs.
The simplest way would be something like this:

<a href="whatever.doc">download now</a>

Here's more info on downloading and uploading files:

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the answer.
I tried your sample <a
href="C:\Applications\Documentation\HTML.doc">download now</a>
but it doesn't do anything when I click on it.

Well you're gonna need a URL in there, not a local path like you've got..  A
local path will only work when called directly from the web server.
