Below you will find some installation examples in HTML of MyFileDownloader. You need to put this HTML code inside your web page.

MyFileDownloader consists of two jar files, myfiledownloader-standard-signed-1.0.3.jar and labels.jar. The name of the first one slightly differs depending on the edition you are using. The labels.jar file contains the English labels. The jar files must be placed in the same directory as the HTML page.

In the examples below some applet parameters are used. With the applet parameters the look and feel and the behaviour of the file downloader can be changed. For a complete list of parameters click here.
