Enabling File Downloads in IIS
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010To enable directory browsing and downloading in Apache, what you only need to do is enable directory browsing and make sure that the file has read access. But in IIS, you have to do an extra task, which is to identify which file extensions are allowed.
To enable file downloads, go to IIS Management Console. Look into folder properties -> HTTP Headers. Click on MIME Types and enter the file extension you want to allow.
