    Perhaps this is a problem I’m having with Filezilla, but I’m having trouble creating the URL path for documents I’ve uploaded to my server. I have them in my main folder, so I thought the URL would simply be “https://www.example.com/document1.doc” but when I test the link, it can’t be downloaded.

    I searched the archives but couldn’t find anything on this. :/

  • What’s the name of the “main folder” you’ve put the file in?

    Alas I don’t remember, and now I’ve lost my files and folders somewhere in the sea of subfolders on Filezilla. (They must still be there somewhere since my site is still up as normal.) So now I have bigger fish to fry. *headdesk*

    But just for future reference, what would the filepath look like to create a URL document?

    Normally after a standard WP install the uploaded files are in:
    https://www.enduro.nl/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/amelhu.jpg
    or in:
    https://www.enduro.nl/wordpress/wp-content/amelhu.jpg
    if during installation WP was not able to create the folder uploads

    After some fiddling around, I got it to work. The main culprit was the names of my files (I had the “%20” to deal with.)

    Thank you both for your help! ??
