RE: downloading .exe from website
whats the thing I have to do to make it so that .exe files are downloadable from my server? You simply have to ensure that the directory in which you place these exe files doesn't allow execution of them. You can do this within the IIS management console - for that directory, make sure that you don't have Scripts and Executables allowed within the Execution field (you can have Scripts only or None chosen).

RE: downloading .exe from website
Just don't put the EXE files in an executable folder (which folders containing .CFM files likely are) as IIS may try to execute them files instead of serving them. --- Ben _ From: Tony Weeg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2004 11:52 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: downloading .exe from website hi there. its been a while since I had to rebuild an iis/cfmx server... whats the thing I have to do to make it so that .exe files are downloadable from my server? or is there nothing, and I just need to work on some other problem here? thanks.x ...tony tony weeg senior web applications architect navtrak, inc. www.navtrak.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] 410.548.2337 _ [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

Hey Tony, If I recall correctly the Ezest was is to put the .exe in a folder then in IIS turn off all execute permissions for that folder via the IIS admin tab directory MB Mark W.

That sounds like the work of IIS Lockdown. Look in your ISAPI extensions for that site and see if there's one mapping .exe to a 404 error page.

Re: downloading .exe from website
You would have to modify your URLScan.ini file to allow the .exe extension, but then you open up your server to much nastiness.
