Problem with Uploaded files not opening when clicked on

[WebGodiva]

I have created a library page on one of my sites.&nbsp;&nbsp;Everything tests fine on my machine but when I uploaded it to the server, none of the files that are uploaded via the browser are accessible.&nbsp;&nbsp;When you click on their hyperlink you either get the 404 or an error that your systems settings need to be changed.<br><br>the code for this page (the open file page) is:<br><br>&lt;cfif not isdefined(&quot;session.authenticated&quot&gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;cfoutput&gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You are not authenticated, or your session has timed out<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;/cfoutput&gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;cfabort&gt;<br>&lt;/cfif&gt;<br>&lt;!--- security check ---&gt;<br>&lt;CFIF Find( '..', URL.ServerFile )<br> or Find( '\', URL.ServerFile )<br> &gt;<br> Error: You are not allowed to access this file<br> &lt;CFABORT&gt;<br>&lt;/CFIF&gt;<br><br><br><br>&lt;!--- parameters ---&gt;<br>&lt;CFSET LibraryDirectory = &quot;d:\webserver\Site-Blauvelt.com\

TARGET="_new">

http://216.198.212.145/htdocs/Penndot/</A><br><br>The

user name is Penndot and the password is Guest001.<br><br>I am new to CF and am working hard to learn it and get this site up and running at the same time. Any suggestions would be appreciated.<br>

I took a look and the files seem to be loading okay, but the urls looked kind of strange...&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br><A HREF="

http://216.198.212.145/htdocs/Penndot/Upload/Penndot.gif?ServerFile=Penndot.gif"

TARGET="_new">

http://216.198.212.145/htdocs/Penndot/Upload/Penndot.gif?ServerFile=Penndot.gif</A><br><br>You

shouldn't need the ?ServerFile=Penndot.gif portion of that url.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you want to do a redirect type of thing, you could use something like:<br><br><A HREF="

http://216.198.212.145/htdocs/Penndot/Upload/redirect.cfm?ServerFile=Penndot.gif"

TARGET="_new">

http://216.198.212.145/htdocs/Penndot/Upload/redirect.cfm?ServerFile=Penndot.gif</A><br><br>then

the redirect page would have:<br><br>&lt;cflocation url=&quot;Penndot.gif&quot; addtoken=&quot;no&quot;&gt;<br><br>You could do other processing before the CFLOCATION tag to count clickthroughs, set mime types, or whatever....
