I'm trying to provide data files for my users to download.  I have an Excel VB program that generates all the data files and creates an HTML file that provides links to each of the files.  I then upload all the files and the HTML file to a DNN folder, and the HTML file is displayed as an Iframe.  These data files happened to be named xxx.GPX (GPSXML format files).  If I right click on a link shown in the Iframe, the file that gets downloaded contains a "file not found" error.  The files are where the link is pointing, and I can access them through the File Manager, but there must be something I don't understand going on.  The collection happens to include a PDF file, and that link works just fine.

The Iframe is viewable at http://www.chetcocyc.org/Activities/2009Activities/OceanMarks/tabid/774/Default.aspx

I'd be happy to use another solution if someone can suggest one.

Are the files really available - it looks like either upload is prohibited by IIS (you need to add file extension in Host Settings)  or download is blocked by IIS (see web site configuration).

Besides, there are modules, which can list all files in a directory (e.g. FileLinks from www.ventrian.com) and might be easier to configure.

I added the filetype to the Host Settings, and in file manger, I can open the files, so I'm pretty sure they're there.  I'm not sure I understand where to control the second suggestion "download is blocked by IIS". I've looked throughthe IIS properties on my server, and don't see anything likely. I don't have access to the live server's IIS so I need to be able to provide accurate instructions to the operator.
