Trying to build my first website. Here are the way the files look on my host server. ----- backup/cgi bin/htdocs ----then in the htdocs folder there are these files: images/scripts/index.htm etc. I want to put a .pdf file on my webpage. Where do I put it, and how do I link to it? I tried www.abcsite123.com/htdocs/(then the .pdf file) but that did not work. -----Everywhere I look on the web there is information and directions for public_html folder which I don't have and never did. I am using Network Solutions and Coffee Cup. I already have Wordpress up and running on my site and I don't want to mess it up.
Where do I put the file on my server and how do I link to it?
if you want the pdf file viewable by everybody, put it in the main directory of the website. This should be the same directory as your main page (index.htm or index.html). To link the file, just point to: www.abcsite123.com/filename.pdf.
First, what is the name of the pdf file. Second, did you put the link to the correct pdf name?? Third, are you sure you placed the pdf file on the root of the home page directory?
The exampleI used assume the PDF file was named "filename.pdf". Please point to the name of your file!
