Could you point me in the right directio so that I could learn a little
more?

I do have the executable settings set to none.

Hi Joe,

Yes, this is security feature in IIS 6.0. It only allows certain files
types and you have to enable others...

Im in the process of migrating a site from 2000 IIS 5.x to 2003 6.0.

I have a downloads section within the site that have static links to
files. The files with .EXE get a 404 error. If I add a fake extention
(.EXE to .EXE.ZIP) and change the link it downloads.

I dont believe its a link or file name issue becuase I simply add another
extension and it works.

Does IIS have some sort of security feature that blocks .exe or .dmg?
