newbie - problem linking to a PDF

I am updating the HTML on my website. I am trying to display a PDF document that is located in a subdirectory under the main website home directory. I have setup the HTML with a link HREF="clips/xxx.pdf" where clips is the subdirectory but I am getting 'the webpage cannot be found'. All the PDF documents are in the directory www.mywebsite.com/clips. Is there a setting that I have not setup to allow the execution of the PDF out of the subdirectory or do I have to alter the way I am linking to the PDF?

Change the href to "/clips/xxx.pdf" so you get a full path that will always work.
