Help with adding folder to website

#1 · April 17, 2026, 2:06 am

I am trying to add a folder to an existing Bootstrap website.

The folder would contain a VisualNeo Web page. I am doing some computer training for retirees.
I wanted to create a folded on my existing website was developed with Bootstrap where the students would be able to view documents from the training or download some exercises.

I am attaching a description of the files and code in a PDF document to try to explain my structure.
Displays document correctly from the web folder after compiling, but when uploading the same files to my website.
I get the message can't find the file.
See attachment please.

Uploaded files:

You need to login to have access to uploads.

The problem looks like the link path.

From your PDF, the compiled VisualNEO app is inside the unifor folder, and the downloads folder is also inside that same unifor folder. But your link code uses:

href="../downloads/Session-1-Summary-March4-2026.pdf"

That ../ means “go up one folder first.” So from unifor/index.html, it tries to look for:

site-root/downloads/Session-1-Summary-March4-2026.pdf

not:

site-root/unifor/downloads/Session-1-Summary-March4-2026.pdf

That matches the folder diagram shown in your attachment, where downloads is inside unifor, not above it.
So your links should be written like this instead:

<table class="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><a href="downloads/Session-1-Summary-March4-2026.pdf" target="_blank">Session 1 - Summary</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="downloads/Session-2.pdf" target="_blank">Session 2 - March 25</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="downloads/Help-Sheet-Writer.pdf" target="_blank">Session 3 - Help Sheet Writer</a></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

You can also use:

href="./downloads/filename.pdf"

which means the same thing here.
A couple of other things to check on the server:

Case sensitivity matters on many web hosts. Session-2.pdf is different from session-2.pdf.
The file names must match exactly, including spaces, dashes, and capitalization.
Use your browser’s F12 developer tools and look at the Network tab or Console. The VisualNEO manual specifically recommends browser debugging tools for testing web apps.

So the main fix is:

../downloads/... → downloads/...

Because your app page and your downloads folder are siblings inside unifor.
If you want, paste your current three exact <a href=...> lines here and I’ll rewrite them exactly for your folder structure.
