easy web page question

[kray]

I need to make some large image files available via the web. I thought all I needed to do was create a directory in /Library/WebServer/Documents named ‘pub’ or something like that, and stick the file in there. Nothing fancy, no security, no nothing. However, since I get the ‘you don’t have permission for access this web page’ error, I assume I’m overlooking something.

I do notice on the web directories that I can pull up in a browser, the permissions are set exactly the same (755) as the new one I created (pub) that I can not access.

any thoughts?

If you want to display the contents of a folder make sure “Folder Listing” is checked on your site under “options”. Then just make sure everyone has read only access to that folder.

Can you access the files if you go:
http://www.yoursite.com/pub/file.jpg
