    All you have to do is type the url of the object in the url box.
    http://www.yoursite.com/chicken.txt

    If the item can be read by the browser it will open it. Like gif,jpeg,swf etc. so anything you want them to down load you should zip. regards,Bill

    In the beginning the web was without shape and color, and the hype covered the darkness of the net. Then there was a Flash and life came to the web and vision became reality.

    Well,I kinda got the idea it has something to do with the "get url" action but can you plz write down what should be entered in each field? and what did you ment by file path? Does it mean that if I want ppl to download a pic from my site all I have to do is place the pic on the server and type Get URL ("pic.gif", vars=GET)?? if not,than what else?
