It's very similar to how you create internal links to other pages on your website.The link will have an extension for the other type of file that the download link is for, instead of having anHTML extension that says the file is another page.If the file is a Microsoft Word document, it may have a DOC extension.If you want to add a download link, you need to first upload the file that needs to be downloaded onto the internet and then create hyperlinked text that will let any person who clicks access it.
Step 1: The file should be given an appropriate name.
The length of your download link will be longer if the file name is not too long.If you give a basic idea of what the file is about, people will not feel suspicious when they download it.If the file is a video clip of your wedding day, it can be named "our_wedding" instead of a random set of numbers, which will confuse people who are about to download it.The URL link that will be associated with the file cannot have spaces, punctuation marks or capital letters in it.
Step 2: The file should be uploaded onto your website server.
This can be done the same way as uploading other websites to your website.If you uploading it as a public file, other people will be able to download it.
Step 3: The destination URL is where the file is hosted.
Someone will be prompted to download a file if they visit this URL.Some methods can be used to get the destination URL.Right-click on the preview link of your uploaded file and copy the location.At the end of your domain URL, add the complete file name.The file name is joined to the destination URL at the end.
Step 4: The code can be used to create hyperlinked text that will allow people to download the file.
Step 5: You can add the download link code to your website.
Step 6: Go to your website and click on the link to download the file.
