Linking to stored files

Mr Jepps Se · ForumWise Co-Admin Joined: 07 Dec 2005 $ 39.57

If I store a .cda track on my free web space provider account, how can I link to it? I've tried putting an <a href=" "> link to it but all that comes back with is an "access denied screen".

If I can embed images into a web page with the <img src= " "> code why can't I put a simple link to an audio file? Surely the above <a href=" "> link will open the .cda file in windows media player?

Please help me someone!

To be honest, I didn't even know what a .cda file was. When I looked it up, this is something I came across:

Thanks, I probably will do that anyway.

The thing that really bugs me though is:

Why, if passwords aren't required to link to an image, is access denied for an audio file? Surely, if the file is not playable (which it is) I should get a different error message? No?

To help me out here, please someone tell me this:

If you store an audio file on your webspace account (let's call it an mp3 for ease), can you or can you not, simply create a link to it so it opens in a media player?

You see I know this works.

Example link being:

<a href="http://www.url of webspace account.com/file.mp3">Song</a>

Why is access denied? Maybe I should contact my webspace provider...

Thanks in advance.
