Public bug reported:
According to the Site Files documentation, files uploaded into the site
files section are meant to be accessible to all logged-in users (via the
"Site Files" tab on any file selector). The one exception to this is
files in the hard-coded "Public" folder, which are meant to also be
accessible to users who aren't logged in.
A user on the #mahara irc channel reported that Site Files sitting in a
subdirectory, however, are not accessible to normal users. I verified
this behavior in 1.8dev.
To reproduce:
1. Log in as an admin user
2. Go to the Site Files page
3. Create a subdirectory
4. Upload a file into that subdirectory
5. Log in as a non-admin user
6. Add a "files to download" block to a page
7. In the block's file selector, go to the "site files" page
8. You will not see the subdirectory you created in step 4, or be able to
access its files.
