Other Types of Links

You can also create links to various kinds of server:

News server: <A HREF="news:news.somesite.com">

FTP server: <A HREF="ftp://ftp.somesite.com">

Telnet session: <A HREF="telnet://ncsa.org">

GOPHER server: <A HREF="gopher://gopher.site.com">

WAIS server: <A HREF="wais://wais.u-penn.edu">

Finally, if you want to enable your visitors to download a file, just create a link to it; the file extension will make the download dialog box appear. Examples:

<A HREF="my_composition.mp3">Download a piece of music of my own composition</A>

<A HREF="/softs/my_software.exe">Download my software</A>
