Making Your E-Books Available for Immediate Download


Making Your E-Books Available for Immediate Download

To make your E-Book available for download you need to upload your E-Book's EXE output file (if you're using a compiler like Activ E-Book Compiler), or E-Book's PDF (if you're using Adobe Acrobat) to your web space. You will need to either use an FTP program, or use the your web site's web-based control panel.
binary mode.

The 2 most popular FTP programs are WS_FTP and CuteFTP and you can download them both from zdnet. Enter the name of the program in the search form at this URL: http://www.zdnet.com/downloads/

Or go directly:
For detailed instructions on using CuteFTP you can look our free tutorial on using CuteFTP.


Paths & URLs

Say the EXE file is C:\FirstSet\MyFirstBook.exe.

Say your web site is http://www.yoursite.com/.

You might upload this to a subdirectory on your web site. For example if you uploaded to the ebook subdirectory, the URL of the download would be http://www.yoursite.com/ebook/MyFirstBook.exe.

You can then create web pages that link to download the E-Book, using HTML like this:

<A HREF=http://www.yoursite.com/ebook/MyFirstBook.exe>Download Now!</A>

If you use a graphical HTML editor, you may simply need to type in the URL for a link to the downloadable file - in this example: http://www.yoursite.com/ebook/thebook.exe


Points to watch out for
  1. Perform an anti-virus scan before uploading E-Books to your web site. You don't want to risk giving your customers a virus!

  2. Always upload in binary mode.

  3. Always use the correct case (upper or lower) in your links, most web servers are case sensitive.

  4. After you think that you've finished - always double check your downloads work as intended!
