Joomla, how to upload file?

I'd like to upload just a file on my webpage that visitors could download it from my web page, how can I do it???

 

You use the upload program from Cpanel or use FTP to load it to your webhosting account from your computer. You do not upload it to a page, it goes on the server at your webhost.

You then link to it from a webpage, and they can access it from there.

 

How can i do this link ?

 

You do it the same as any other link, putting the location of the file in the URL field.

 

It will look similar to this :

<a href="name_of_file_goes_here.html">Text link of the file goes here</a>

HTML:

That is for an HTML file. You would put the format for your particular type of file in there.

 

Correct.

I usually just upload to a folder on the server.

BTW: I know there are extensions that allow you to do this within the WYSIWYG Editor.

 

it doesn't work

 

for example, my file is here /public_html/media/system/images/file.rar
should i put it <a href="/public_html/media/system/images/file.rar">Text link of the file goes here</a> ?

 

If your Joomla installation is in the "public_html/" file, that would be correct.

 

Thanks a lot I understood.

 

Yep...

Good luck.
