Im evaluating the website x5 10 now using the demo?how can i let my clients download a zipped file?i tried doing what i read on one of the questions answered here "when you add a link in the text object you need to choose the option "File or Url" in the Link window and in "local File on PC" you choose the zip file. As soon as you export the project the yip file will be uploaded to your website too and when someone clicks on the link it will download this file." but when i previewed it and click the link nothing shows just the pop up window with no content?how is this then?

Hi Jenny,

This feature will not work correctly in preview mode.  You need to upload the project fully to the server before you can test it.

Also, be aware that different browsers react differently to clickable links as far as downloads are concerned.  In some instances you may have to edit browser settings/allow downloads/allow pop-up windows/make use of right-click options, etc.
