Hosted Files All files used online (pictures, video, music, etc) are hosted online. When you use a SRC or HREF tag you have to include the file address in order to display the file. One of the easiest ways to find out the file address is to copy and paste the address in the file info. You can also do this with URL addresses for pages. If you have files you want to use on your web page but they are on your computer, there are several alternatives. Lots of sites will give you a small website for free, which will allow you to upload your files and use them.
