adding a pdf file link into product description page

I've searched the forum and tried adding a link using <a href="pdf_files/forbiddenbrewrecipe.pdf">$nbsp;$nbsp;Forbidden Brew Recipe</a> in the product description. When I click on the link on the webpage, it gives me a 404 error. If I go to https://www.pazdarwinery.com/pdf_files/, it give me an index of pdf files. How do I set this up so that by clicking on the link in the product description it pulls up the pdf file?

Complete to the file(space added by me)
http :// www .pazdarwinery.com/pdf_files/filename.pdf

And consider copying one of ZenCarts index.html files into this pdf folder to prevent the index

Hi, tried that twice, no luck. Also did what Kobra suggested and still no luck.

What product has this?
What code have you entered?
Are you entering this code when using the plain text editor or are you using html mode?
