"there are dozens of free sites at Geocities, Angel Fire, etc. " -- So says the instruction on uploading freestuff. So I set up a free site with Angelfire but I can't seem to make a working link to a .zip file in a folder there, it returns a "page not found" error. I can link to a .jpg in the same folder, but not the .zip Does Angelfire even allow downloading of (or linking to) files other than images or .htm pages? If not I think those instructions shouldn't mention "Angelfire etc" - it looks like I spent all evening online building a website I can't use :-( OB

Dunno why, but it works if both link and filename are .ZIP but not if they are .zip

I had the same problem with Tripod.Lycos. The community at Alice.org (a site for the free Alice animation program) didn't have an area for Alice Object Files, so I made a free site with some 3dmax converted objects for people to download. For some reason, you couldn't download the files, and I figured that it was because the file extention was unknown to them. You'd think that they would just let you move the file "As Is", but it didn't work at all. The funny thing is that it DID work the first time that I tried it out, but as soon as other people got around to it, it had stopped completely. I never could get it to work after that. The site's still there, too.

Hi obm890, I sent you an IM about this
