VSys Live Downloadable Files

You can place files on your VSys Live site for visitors to download directly. You might want to put newsletters, your organization's history or PDF forms that need to be signed and returned. Use the Downloadable files link to add files that can be used by different VSys Live blocks.

Want to make a VSys Live downloadable file available without a download block? Clicking on the hyperlink in the upper-left corner copies a URL to the Windows clipboard that can be used to reference this file. Paste that URL into an e-mail, a VSys Live news item or anyplace else. As long as VSys Live is running at the URL you set for the VSys Live site, the link can be used to download this file without actually going to your VSys Live site and searching for it.

When adding a file here it's important that the Download filename property be what you'd want the file to be named when it's downloaded by a site visitor. The visitor will get this filename as the default filename. If the file extension is not correct (in this case ".pdf") then the visitor's web browser may not know what to do with the file.

Adding files here doesn't immediately make them available on your VSys Live site: you'll need a "file download" block placed on the page first, and that block must be configured to know which files it should show to the site's visitors.

"File required by..."? Those are downloadable files which come from the currently-selected CSS and JavaScript option. VSys Live will automatically make assets from those options into downloadable files here. (If you delete a required file here, VSys Live will re-create it again within a few minutes.)
