If you only read one of these submission guidelines, read this one. (Then please read the rest) If your problem deals exclusively with fields or filters provided by another module (CCK, Image, VotingAPI are common) please post the issue under the queue for that module first; all modules are responsible for telling Views about their own fields. It's possible Views IS at fault, but the module maintainers are the best people to make that determination, and they can kick the issue into the Views queue with an explanation of what's wrong if that is the case.

I'm not sure exactly which module you're using, but please change the Project to the appropriate module so that the right person can answer this question.

This is for filefield.module - you need a formatter that outputs the raw url (you can also make your own formatter, from a custom module of yours)

look at the sample code for hook_field_formatter_info() and hook_field_formatter() in cck/field.php

which version of filefield are you working with? these formatters are in head, but that code is experimental.

no update.
