>Hi,
> I have a file stored in a folder called serviceupdates which is below my virtual directory. The file is called serviceupdate.exe I have my user browse to a page called ServiceUpdate.asp On the page is a link href="/serviceupdates/serviceupdate.exe" When the user hits the link, the file is downloaded to the user. Very cool. But I want to be able to download a file when it is not stored in a directry below the virtual. Is this possible?

It's easier than pulling teeth,
You would have to make all your upload directories virtual directories in IIS and allow IUSER read access. Adjust your href for upload to be
href="IPorDomaineName/VirtualDirectoryAlias/UploadFile.
The directory does not need to be anywhere special but keep security in mind when you do this. If you are blending your internal network with your web accessible network I think you would be making a mistake.
