Uploading .exe eBooks
-
I intend to offer eBooks downloads to my registered users. I have gone through the list of file types wordpress.com permits. Nowhere I found mention of .exe files under the permitted file type category. My eBooks will be HTMl compiled to EXE format with the .exe extension. I would like to know if files with .exe extensions are permitted or not.
Thanks in advance. -
Hello there,
Currently, you are permitted to upload the following file types to your WordPress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/If you wish to provide them in another format like a PDF the following processes are outlined particularly for users who wish to upload a document and add its download link to a blog post or page. If you are seeking to simply upload a document to your blog’s Media Library (no download link), you can check out Media -> Add New in your dashboard. http://support.wordpress.com/media/media-add-new/
If you want to embed the document itself, you will have to use a third party application like Scribd or Google Docs. Otherwise, the documents will appear as a download link.

correction:
HTML compiled to EXE format and the downloadable file will be in the .exe executable format. -
Nowhere I found mention of .exe files under the permitted file type category.
if it is not in the OK list it is not allowed

Hello there,
That’s why I posted what I did above in paragraph 2 and 3 of my answer. :) -
Dear timethief, thanks for the links and your suggestions.
Dear auxclass thanks for your response. I understand that at this moment executable file format/ category is not allowed by wordpress.com. I am a bit sad :(
But, in trying to remain positive I am hoping for the best “someday” soon :) -
