Hi,

I've uploaded some files to my 3.6 installation and associated them to a page. They are mainly .DOC with some .PDF files containing technical reference material.

I can create a link to them for people to "download this file" by using the ezobject:// link in a link href tag. When you view the site and click on these links, however, it takes you to an error page and provides you with a login form. I assume once logged in you can get the file.

My problem is that I don't want (or actually need) people to log into my site. I just want normal web users to be able to get my reference files.

How do I do this?

Thanks,

Sean.

Hi Sean,

you could let the anonymous user role get read access to object of the file class in the media section (or a subtree of it).

At least that's the way I do it.
