File Link

Post by GWHC »

Hi, I have successfully used wysiwyg for several years and uploaded files to 2 websites I run in this time but for some reason it is not now allowing me to upload files stored on my computer to be uploaded. The files are small word documents and after I have published I go to the site try to open the link and receive an error message the web page cannot be found. I have tried linking other files that are currently linked elsewhere on my site with the same result.

Maybe the file name is not web-safe?

The filename of the document is not web-safe. It should not have any spaces or other special characters.

Did you upload the file to the server?

Also, I am not sure about the dots. The web server may not support this.

Maybe you have uploaded the file to the wrong folder?

It does not exist at the specified location:
