folder for downloadable files

[westerncc]

I want to make 3 or 4 small pdf files available for d/loading from my website.

Where would I put these files?
Just put them in the /public-html/mysite/*pdf and then link them

Or can I make a folder and put all of them in there. If I can, where do I put the 'myfiles' folder? Under or in the /public-html/mysite/myfiles ?

Thanks

Is it an add-on domain (& not the main account)? If so, the default web directory should be: /public_html/[nameofaddondomain]/ And that will be your main directory for your website.

Place your files in another directory that's above that. If you're allowing people to d/l the pdfs, placing them in their own separate folder will allow you to password protect it if you need to (or keep search engines from crawling that one directory) in the future. It'll help your site to stay more organized too.

Example for add-on site: /public_html/[nameofaddondomain]/pdffiles/

Example for the main site: /public_html/pdffiles/

Hope this helps you.
