First of all, a good idea would be to download WinRar, add the files into archive and it'll end up becoming one file.

You need to upload the file on a website and give them the link. What you could do is upload it on www.mediafire.com - It's free even if you sign up and such.
Then go on www.tinyurl.com and make your own url by copying and pasting the link there and handing it out to your friends/writing it in your bio.

Another way of doing it is sending the file through email/skype or any other program, but in that case, it won't be public and only the ones you send it to - will be able to see it.

After exporting it the files will appear in your exports folder. The files include:

- .fhm the map file
- .fho the object groups
- .fhs the custom sky file, if you used one.
- .fhw the custom weather cycle, if you used one.

You need to gather all these files and put them in a new folder, turn the folder into a .zip file so it's easier to download/upload.

When the folder is compressed you have to upload it to a file sharing site such as www.mediafire.com or www.zippyshare.com.

When you're done, give the download link to your friends. After downloading they need to open the folder and place all the files into their exports folder. The portal to your map should appear in Cape of Distant Worlds.

You can save the zip/rar file of the map wherever you want, but you need to upload it/send it to the others who need it.

When you arrive on the mediafire site, there should be a page looking like this:



Click the Upload button on the side, it should load a new window with a large + sign in the middle. Click the + and choose the folder.

Then click the green Begin Upload button and wait. When it's completed there should be a button called Share. Click that and copy the first link.
