how do i upload files in order to have links? I know how to make links in HTML using the <a href="" > example </a> tags. but where do i upload the file to the server? in what directory i mean. and once i put it there, what do i put in between the quotes. by that i mean <a href="what goes here?">.

Thanks for any help

you should put everyone and everything in the public_html folder or else.
If the file you are linking to is in the same folder(directory) as your page, just put the file name, like <a href="something.html">. If it is in a folder that is underneath the one your page is on, you do folder/filename. like <a href="folder/something.html">. Hope that clarifies something.

You will add your files to

Quote:

www or public_html

If you're using other languages such as "js, css" you will create folders under public_html i.e. css, js then place your stylesheet in that folder and link to your website pages.

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="cs/mystyle.css" />
