I'll be the firs to admit I know virtually nothing about building a website, as my site will show. I'm having a problem though that I can't figure out. I've uploaded a file to the site and correctly linked it. So why do I get an error page when I click the link? Edit: ok, it works as a zip file, sorta, but not as a skp file. What obvious thing am I missing here?
Are you sure that's the right location for the file, because it's looks as if it's not finding it. http://snafudesign.com/images/sketchup/M4x10.skp
As culley said, it appears that either the file is missing from the location or the file is linked incorrectly. Monkeybone
No, I can SEE the file sitting in that exact spot via my ftp. I uploaded a zip version to the same spot, just .zip instead of .skp. And that works fine. I'm totally stumped.
It could be that your host doesn't allow certain (or perhaps unknown) extensions to be hosted for downloads. The only way to know that though would be to contact them directly.
just zip the file. i suspect it's has something to do with GoDaddy's server configuration. secondly, downsize your background image. instead of a block... just use a verticle strip. whatever is repeated across horizontally, it's a waste. Good to see you going hands on with a website. May the Goddess of Web be with you.
try changing the file name to remove all the capital letters. and then see if that works. some times browsers can be picky over filenames etc.
Sorry, I'm really tired at the moment so forgive me if I'm getting the wrong end of the stick. I right clicked on the .skp file and saved it to my desktop. M4x10.skp is 1.66k and opened in notepad it contains the following: Code: <HTML> <HEAD><TITLE>Page Not Found</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" LINK="maroon" VLINK="maroon" ALINK="maroon"> <CENTER> <TABLE WIDTH="85%" BORDER="1" BORDERCOLOR="#000000" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="3"> <TR> <TD BGCOLOR="#e5dccd"> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD WIDTH="40%"><IMG SRC="http://images.godaddy.com/hosting/hdr_sorry_small.gif" BORDER="1" BORDERCOLOR="#000000"></TD> <TD ALIGN="CENTER"><H2 STYLE="font-family: arial, sans-serif">Page Not Found</H2></TD> </TR> </TABLE> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD> <P STYLE="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, sans-serif"> The page you tried to access does not exist on this server.

If you're uploading files to a website and you want people to easily download them, I'd say it's always best to zip or rar them beforehand.
