Adding a file to an article so readers can download it

I want to add a PDF file so that readers on my site can download it. I want them to be able to read the article then do a "click here to download the file" and be able to download a PDF file. How exactly do I do that?

I uploaded the PDF file to my uploads folder but I'm not quite sure how to link it. What is the exact address where it's at? Do I type: //uploads/filename?

And how should I set the permissions?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

How do I've to look at that site. Are that modules that are under development or ready for implementation and if so why aren't they implementend in XOOPS (yet)?

I know that XOOPS is gonna be only the core someday but I didn't knew that there were already updated (?) packages out.

In this case I'm actully using the Articles module v.017.

There is only a hyperlink shortcut. So I uploaded my file to the uploads folder and tried to use the hyperlink with it but it doesn't seem to work.

I think I may not be typing in the address right. The way I did it was ../uploads/filename.pdf
