** [tickets:#8203] Download button for a project**
**Status:** open
**Milestone:** unreleased
**Created:** Tue Jun 05, 2018 11:59 AM UTC by Vrinda
**Last Updated:** Tue Jun 05, 2018 11:59 AM UTC
**Owner:** nobody
I am new to Apache Allura and am trying to set it up locally to host a few projects.
I have installed Allura platform on Ubuntu 16.04 by following the installation guide:
https://forge-allura.apache.org/docs/getting_started/install_each_step.html
I could get the application server running and I am now able to create a new project.
How do I create the 'Download' button using which I want to allow downloading of the executable of the project?
In the feature list : https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/wiki/Features/, I can see under Documentation that this is possible using custom wiki macros?? How can I do this?

[allura:tickets] #8203 Download button for a project
Posted by Dave Brondsema <da...@brondsema.net>.
Hi,
The Allura project itself doesn't support uploading & downloading file releases, unfortunately. The custom wiki macro is a reference to a customization used on SourceForge.net for its file release system (not part of Allura).
If you have the file hosted somewhere else, you can link to it from a wiki page like:
```
[Download](http://path.com/to/download)
```
Or even use an image as the link:
```
[](https://path.com/to/download)
```
If you want to host the download on Allura instead of a different site, you could upload it as an attachment to a wiki page. That will work but may not perform very well especially for very large files.
Hope that helps

It doesn't look like the markdown converter handles file:// links, sorry. For security reasons I think both markdown and some browsers put restrictions on using file:// links.
You'll have to put the file on your webserver and have the webserver serve it (or try attaching it to a wiki page, etc, within Allura)

Okay thanks.
If I want to link to a file in the local server, what would be the syntax in wiki?
I tried this one, bit it wouldn't work:
[](file:///home//blah/blah//myExecutable.exe)

I am able to set up a link to an ftp server.
So a link like this works:
[Download](ftp://<server_IP>/../../image.jpeg)
Thanks :)

Correct, but I have to patch utils to extend allura to support sftp, ftps and our own URL handler.
Not ideal. A setting would be preferable.
