  I need to update this pdf: https://speakingofresearch.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/background-briefing-on-animal-research-in-the-uk.pdf

  I want to know how to upload the new pdf in such a way that the url will be identical (not “http://www……the-uk-2.pdf”

  Thanks

  Tom

  Sorry but you can’t do that on WordPress.COM – you need FTP access to update an individual file and WordPress.COM does not allow FTP access

  I assume you send links out to people with the file name? I always send a link to a Page or a Post and let them visit the site and then do the download – I never send a link to a file directly
