It means that you need to put up your portfolio on a website!. The link they speak of is, simply, the URL, or address to the site!.

You cannot, simply, provide a link that will give the employer access to your personal computer, unless it is set up as a server!. That simply means that the website is hosted on your own system!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you have to put your file on a server where it's accessible at all times!. It's just like you would make a webpage!. You would need a host!. If you are at a university, most universities give you the space to make a webpage!.
You could also try places like myspace, they let you post quite a number of images and I know artists who post their portfolio on there, but you have to make sure they are accessible to people who are not logged in as members - no prospective employer is going to be willing to sign up as a member just to see your portfolio!.
There are also plenty of web hosts where you pay a monthly fee!. As I get my web host for free from the university, I don't know who is best there, maybe ask a question under computers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
