Can't get links to files working

I am trying to link a text file to a page I am making in the Website Builder. The new page is titled Kitchen. I am trying to link a text file I have uploaded to cooking/tips directory called cookingwitholiveoil.txt.

 

I have tried using any number of combinations:

http://home.comcast.net/~michaelatwood1/cookingwitholiveoil.txt

http://home.comcast.net/~michaelatwood1/cooking/tips/cookingwitholiveoil.txt

http://home.comcast.net/~michaelatwood1/kitchen/cookingwitholiveoil.txt

 

According to the instructions on the home page of the builder, the first link should work, however when I go to the home page and click on it, I get an error message saying it cannot fild the url.

 

Please help.

Re: Can't get links to files working

From "home.comcast.net/~michaelatwood1" I can click on "Kitchen". This takes me to "home.comcast.net/~michaelatwood1/site/?/page/Kitchen/". On the Kitchen page there's a link named "1- Cook with extra virgin olive oil? Not on your life!". The link points to "home.comcast.net/~michaelatwood1/Cooking/Tips/oliveoil.rtf" and opens OK.

 

Can you link "cookingwitholiveoil.txt" the same way you linked "oliveoil.rtf"?

Re: Can't get links to files working

I had a neighbor come show me what I was doing wrong. I was showing the path as cooking/tips/filename and should have been Cooking/Tips/filename. I changed from plain txt to an rtf format on the file in order to be easier to read.  I didn't notice the capitolization error until it was pointed out to me.
