Hi,
I'm having an issue with the Simple File List module. When clicking download all I'm getting is a 404 error:
"HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found.
Internet Information Services (IIS)"
My first thought was folder permissions however all seems in order there.
Any help would be much appreciated.

John,
What type of file is it? (IE what's the extension)
A current limitation of the module that we are working on for the next release is that it can only serve content for files that are mapped on the server. So certain other file types might not be available. If that isn't the issue, I'll see what we can do to help it along. |

Thanks for the reply.
I was just testing it with a few .txt files. I actually tried the module out in a dnn 6 portal i've been setting up and it's worked perfectly. Same web server. One thing i noticed is that when using dnn 6, and browsing as a domain user who doesn't have access to the folders, i was prompted to authenticate. That didn't happen when using dnn 5.
I'm in the process of moving our sites over to version 6 so for me this won't be an issue |

| Interesting, this sounds like a permissions issue for "users" not having "read" access. That would grant anonymous access to those files. |

I've just checked the folder permissions and both websites have Users at Read/Execute level access which is why I thought it strange. There's really not much difference between the sites except the different versions of dnn. I'm not going to worry about it as i'll have finished transferring our sites to dnn 6 by the end of the day, but i'll be happy to help if you need any more information.

That is really odd, my only guess is an IIS limitation on anonymous access. The download process is a direct link to the file, so no DNN dependency or DNN processing is involved.
But if you are ok with your upgraded configuration I'll leave it alone for now! |
