Hosting files for others to download on my website

I want to host some small mp3 files that I can download onto my phone for ringtones and some friends' mixes on my website so that others can download them. My question is how do I create a simple direct-download link? You know the 'right click, save as' type. Or just a basic page that has the files listed so that they are able to be viewed before downloading. I've tried to figure it out a few times, but really have very little knowledge of doing those website related things. I have Dreamweaver MX and frontpage too, but havent really seen how to do it in there.

I have some of the files already uploaded to my ftp account with my host company. I just dont know how to link them in the code or whatever.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Everything will be relative to your base folder, your first level, your root. So if the provider is www.domains.com and your area is located at www.domains.com/mypage, AND you created a new folder for mp3s and such, so that the path was www.domains.com/mypage/mp3....you'd link it like this:

[a href="/mp3/music.mp3"]Click here to download this mp3[/a]

Only you'd replace all instances of [ with < and replace all instances of ] with >

If you have it in your root folder, just do something like [a href="/music.mp3"]Click here to download this mp3[/a]

Got it! After using your advice and viewing source on my friends' site, I figured it out.

Thanks again!
