I understand that in order to track download files that are not webpages I need to link them with this example code:
Download somefile.zip
But I guess what I'm not understanding is where to place this code. I am trying to track a download on our FTP site. Can you help me in a little more detail on how to set this up?
Redirect- Tracking Downloads
The example code that you have provided is HTML that would be included in a web page. MetaTraffic can only track web pages or downloads from web pages. It cannot track downloads directly from an FTP site. You need to link to your FTP download from a web page in order to track it. You can do that by replacing the /downloads/somefile.zip portion of the example with the ftp address of your file.
I hope this helps.
