Virtual Directory- HTTP401.3 error

[drkestrel]

I have set up a virtual directory called downloads which is pointing to c:\downloads (i.e., same machine as where IIS5.0 was installed on Win2K workstation).

I put a small text file (10 characters) on it called test.txt. Navigating to

http://myIP/downloads/test.txt,

test.txt is downloaded successfully

but when I put a zip file (500KB) onto c:\downloads, trying to load

http://myIp/downloads/anotherfile.zip

, IIS returned error
HTTP 401.3 - Access denied by ACL on resource
Internet Information Services

Renaming the zip file to .txt or .doc does NOT help!

Wassup? The downloads directory was set up to have read permission, anonymous access allowed ticked on Directory security, and Integrated Windows security NOT ticked.

Try checking the permission on the zip file, itself. Depending on where it came from, it may have different permissions from the folder.

Good luck,
