[SOLVED] Simple way to make files available for download on my site?

It is my intention to keep the previous version of the kernel available on my website.  Every now & then it will be very helpful to someone, when they need it & can't get it anywhere.

Could someone please give me instructions on how you do this?

I have set up FileZilla, & can access my space, I have made the simplest of pages, & I have permission from my ISP, so long as I don't make money out of it, I don't have to pay for the bandwidth.

Thanks in advance.

[Edit:]
I found out for myself that it is as easy as making a link to them. smile

[Edit:2]
Having asked some questions I got answers that make my keeping kernels on a server redundant.  See Post_#2 in the following link:

I used to be surprised that I was still surprised by my own stupidity, finding it strangely refreshing.
Well, now I don't find it refreshing.
I'm over it!

Just create a folder and place your files in there. On most webservers, when someone navigates to that folder, they will be presented with a list of files.

Re: [SOLVED] Simple way to make files available for download on my site?

I have it up, it currently has two copies of the tiny  app' backlight which gives screen brightness control to Mac users with LCD screens, the 2nd copy is just filling in for the kernel.

Could someone tell me how to handle the permissions on the files that I put up, & should I when available also make the source available?

Here is the address:

Word has it that the permissions for files on an ftp server are:  -rw-r--r--

So that is what I will do.

Re: [SOLVED] Simple way to make files available for download on my site?

The following: 

kernel26-2.6.26.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

Is available at this site:

www.users.on.net/~thehands/

I need more space before I can carry both 32/64bit simultaneously.

& perhaps these should really be carried in AUR?

Here is the answer for anyone who needs to know how & where to access previous kernel versions see post #2:

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57455

It has taken me a while to find this information & now we know!
