correct url addresess?

hi guys, i'm trying to download a song from the desktop of my p.c. onto a website i'm building for our band, Rags. the song is in mp3 format and the instrutions tell me to type in the url of the song to be dowloaded. i've typed in what i think it should be but no joy, any ideas guys? cheers, steve

What kind of uploader are you using?

eh? sorry what do you mean?

Well, I use CoffeeCup Direct FTP and my server is something offered by Yahoo!. I share it with a friend. He had it when I met him and it's 50 MB of space (I think). The cost is around $9 a month.

If you want to upload your song onto the site, I recommend using a website called Mediafire:

It's free and all you need to do is follow the instructions and click on the file and upload. It then gives you a link to put on your website, so all you need to do is copy and paste the link onto your website.

Hope it helps.

cheers for that, i see what you mean, i think! but looking through the instructions on the website to upload the songs it say's i just need to type in the url and click upload. so i assume what you're suggesting it aint as straight forward as that? i need a server to do it? steve

You don't need a server, you just need to click on where it says upload files, find your songs (I presume it's in MP3 format?)on your desktop and then click on upload. It will take a few minutes depending on your computer's speed but it then uploads them into a folder that has a url that you can simply copy and paste onto your website.

It's pretty simple to use, I'm not the most technologically minded but it works fine for me.

That sounds easier. I'll bookmark that site in case I ever have to transfer my files. Thanks, SOM.

No problemo.

Is it like photobucket and tinypic? photobucket always goes down. I hate that.
