security-enabled directory shortcode

hi — i just am wondering if i’ve got this correct. I’m now using the shortcode for the path and it’s working just fine but i am not actually sure i need all of these quotes. I have:

<a>Download</a>

The link seems to work fine w/o the outer quotes — but I want to code it correctly and, according to the S2 instructions the shortcode just reproduces the url, right?

Thanks for your inquiry. ~ We appreciate your patience :-)

I don’t think all of your code came through. Please wrap code with code tags before posting.
I think I understand what you’re asking though.

In the WP Visual Editor, you can create links to files by simply formulating the URL yourself.

http://www.example.com/wp-content/plugins/s2member-files/example-file.zip

If you do this from the HTML tab, you can integrate the [s2File /] Shortcode into an anchor tag.
