EDU221UploadingProductFiles

Different Web site types can handle different type files. Some won't accept certain file types. You need to know your file type (what's the extension). The other choices are up to you and what effect you want and what interface you prefer.

Another choice you sometimes have is whether to just upload the file (readers click on it, it downloads to their computer, and it plays using software on their machine) or you embed the file (it doesn't download to their computer and typically, they can see the playbar and just click the play button to start it up).
