You should archive the file up somehow so that it is just one file - if you
don't have ArcFS or SparkFS then if you visit the ArgoNet FTP site there's a
copy of the PD utility PackDir.  It's a special version which comes as a
single BASIC file which you just double-click on to extract a working copy
of the PackDir application.  The file is called:
ftp.argonet.co.uk/pub/Acorn/PD/PackDir.bas
Most FTP masters seem to like .zip archives, but I don't mind.

Once you have your archived file load the FTP program (you can only do this
when online using Voyager) go back to the ArgoNet FTP site - it should be
listed in the menu of web sites on later copies of Voyager - and go straight
to the incoming directory.  Drag the file from your hard drive to the FP
window and it will upload automatically.  Email suggestions@argonet.co.uk
and let me know the file is there, and I'll put it in the PD directories. 
Once there you can link to it from your web pages just as if you were
linking to another page - for instance:
<a href="ftp://ftp.argonet.co.uk/pub/Acorn/PD/Fonts/JarFont.spk">My font</a>
Of course, having it on the FTP site saves your web space.

Apologies to non-ArgoNet readers for not removing the cross-posting or
simply replying by email, but I think that this is of general interest.
And of course there's nothing stopping non-ArgoNet users visiting or even
contributing to the FTP site ;)

Cheers,
Rich.
