Hi,

Cannot download any files with "private" file download method | drupal.org

I'm using FileField 6.x-3.0-alpha5 on drupal 6.6, and I have exactly the same problem. I logged in as the uid=1 user, but the access was denied.

Sorry if I'm missing something. Any help would be appreciated!

Did you do what that thread suggests ? enabling the upload.module and giving permissions ?

Thenks for your reply!

Yes, I checked it several times. I enabled upload.module and gave the permission, but it didn't work.

I can access to files which uploaded via upload.module.. I checked permissions of files uploaded via both FileField and upload.module on my server, and these files had same permission(644).

Do you have access content, as uid 1 you should... you need to check out filefield_view_access() and what it is recieving. If you need field level permissions you need to enable the content permissions module and make sure you have access to view your field.

Did you find out what was wrong? I just installed a test install of D6.6 with:
Filefield 6.x-3.0-alpha5
Imagefield 6.x-3.0-alpha2

When I set file system to private download method, the image just does not appear, while logged in as user 1.
When set to public download method all is fine.

I have upload module activated.
Permissions are set (although as user 1 that doesn't really matter):
- view imagefield uploads
- access content
- view uploaded files

Very weird. Any clues?

You can't switch that setting safely... private downloads work for me currently.
