Publishing an asset file to a custom URL

Publishing help Editor

Hi Everyone,

Looking for some help here.

I have a file (.pdf) stored in my asset library i.e. https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/myfile

I would like to customise the URL ‘‘https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/myfile’’ to be ‘‘mydomain.com/myfile’’, so users can directly access the file by going to ‘‘mydomain.com/myfile’’

Thanks in advance,
May

You have a few options;

You could add a 301 redirect, so that the URL works, but the end URL will still be Webflow’s asset URL.

You could setup a reverse proxy which would give you exactly the URL you want, but adds a fair bit of infrastructure. I do a lot of work in this space.

You could also host the file somewhere else like bunny.net, and use a subdomain, like files.mydomain.com/myfile.

*You need a web server to host your website and handle requests. If you don’t have one already, you can use services like Apache, Nginx, or even a cloud hosting provider like AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure.

Configure Web Server: Once you have your web server set up, you need to configure it to handle requests for your custom URL (https://psxcosmicvalues.com/) and serve the PDF file from the asset library when someone accesses mydomain.com/myfile
