Can Not Download From Website

**gemini** · February 19, 2004

I uploaded a few *.exe files but can not download them from the webpage by clicking on the link to the files.

It says You don't have permission to access the file.

I already CHMODed it to 755 still doesn't work

P.S.

I just saw this in my .htaccess

# deny most common except .php

deny from all

</FilesMatch>

and when I disable it - my *.exe files download just fine - how can I edit this code to add sertain folder with files to be accepted for downloads?

What is the permission of the IBS%20Links folder and does it have a space in the folder name?

Rename the folder with a - or _ replacing the space if there is and set the folder to 755 permissions.

it had permission 755 already

I renamed it now

I just saw this in my .htaccess

# deny most common except .php

deny from all

</FilesMatch>

and when I disable it - my *.exe files download just fine - how can I edit this code to add sertain folder with files to be accepted for downloads?
