Hello all,
I'm trying to post some .mov and mpeg's. What I'm attampting to do is simply create an basic htm file and create a link to the *.mov & mpeg's. After I upload all necessary files to my public_html folder, I recieve dead links when I click on them. I have verifird all parameters etc. So my question is do you have to create the page a diferrent way vs. creating one for regular jpg's?? Does anyone know?? Thanks!!!!

To create a link, use this HTML:

<a href="whatever.mpg">Click here!</a>

or, if the films are in a folder,

<a href="foldername/whatever.mpg">Click here!</a>

I hope that helps you.

If you are still stuck, please tell us what error message you are getting.

Thanks Stephan,
That was one way to do it. I was doing just that through the Dreamweaver GUI but for some reason nothing on my site work i.e. jpg's mpg's etc. unless I put the files in my public_html/photos. I made other directories under public_html but when I put put files in there, their unaccessable on my site. So after I moved the .mov mpg etc in photos directory they all seeme to work. I don't want to cram all my jpg's and mpeg's all into one directory. I guess it's a permission issue I need to look into.

Thanks!

You either have to make the html page in the same folder as the files you want to link to,

or,

put the folder paths in the html tag.

e.g. <a href="foldername/filename.mov">sss</a>

If your html file is in public_html, you have to make links like this:

<img src="photos/photo.jpg">

The statistics page in CPanel can tell you what is going wrong, in the broken links section.
