configuring ability to download files

[denisefiorentino1]

Hi,

I want my viewers to be able to download a powerpoint presentation from my site. Below is my code:
<p><a href="downloads/fluoropolymers.ppt" target="_blank">Fluoropolymers Presentation</a> </p>

The file is in the downloads folder. I have checked the code locally and it works. I can't figure out what makes CMSMS different that makes this simple code not work. I keep getting a 404 file not found error. Any ideas you have would be appreciated.

Thanks

Without more information it's hard to tell, but probably a path issue. Try using an absolute path {root_url}/downloads/etc..

I tried that as well... is the main page not configured to be on the root of project?

Can you provide a link to the site so we can actually see what path it's trying to go to?
