Creating Links to pages uploaded to your website - Failing to locate uploaded htm file

I uploaded to my website htm files created by "Hot Potatoes" to the uploads directory. When I try to link 'a file' to my webpage I receive a 404 error, file not found. Yet, I can see the file using 'File Manager'.
I've tried the '~' pathing to the location of the file:
~http://216.147.52.16/uploads/logicmix.htm,Logic~
What am I doing wrong?

This could be one of many many little errors.
Post the code you use to link to the file and I will try and help you.

Yes, post your code. As JP said, a number of little things can happen.

It could be capitalization, .htm instead of .html extensions, pages in the wrong directory, etc.

i think posting the code would help much more, or not Wink
