    Archive it with winrar. That way clicking on it will pop up the download window and not open the ebbok in browser (if thats what you mean).

    Use WinZIP, unzipped by Windows automatically.

    if your page is in .htm or .html you can open up your "download page" using Frontpage or Dreamweaver or any editor, even notepad.

    Then you'll need to link to that file. As an example, if you FTP'd the file in your public_html it would be: www.yourdomain.com/file.txt

    Then you would hyper link it in the document to that file, specifying the above path. However, you may have at least 1 subfolder or several too, keep this in mind.
