Downloadable Files

I hope I'm in the right thread here!

I have the Zen Cart Book just so that you know.

I am trying to have downloads for my customers when they purchase an item it
can be downloaded. Now my problem is Step 2 on page 213 of the book tells me
to make sure that the <zc-home>/download directory exists on the server. If
you do not see the directory, check the following line in your <zc-home>/includes/configure.php
file to see which directory your downloadable file should be in.

Now where do I find this?

Please understand that I am learning this as I go.

When I open my Core I have the following and need to know where I go from here?

And if that file doesn't exist, then how do I make one.

thanks again,
Debi

Re: Downloadable Files

You'll find your "download" folder under the "public_html" folder, along with all the rest of your Zen Cart files.
