Drupal installed, FTP folders inaccessible
dugawug - December 4, 2007 - 05:35
we have 5.X installed on an apache webserver. now i'm not sure if this is what's causing it, but ever since, i've tried to access some of our ftp folders (which are under our www folder), and drupal seems to block the access. for example, we used to have http://www.mydomain.com/docs as an actual folder that users could upload to via FTP and download via HTTP by browsing the directory. now instead, Drupal throws up an error "Page cannot be found" for these directories.
any ideas?
Drupal typically will create
Drupal typically will create a /files subdirectory in which all public material should go. Try creating docs under /files, or rename /files to /docs. You will need to do this via site configuration/file system.
You might also want to try WebFM... Its a great Ajax-powered file manager module for drupal that is just for the purpose you seek.

FAQ
Drupal deliberately prevents directory browsing access (but not direct file access) to misc files within the Drupal root.
