Hello,

I have a 5.x site. When I download files users have uploaded, e.g., with the path:

.../?q=system/files/draft_project_flyer.doc

The name of the file, once it's downloaded, changes to something random like: kJaOsJh+.doc.part (on Firefox 3)

I then have to specify an application I want to open a file.

How can I make it so that when files are downloaded from my drupal site, that their name/extension doesn't change?

Thanks very much for you help.

Alison

i am having this exact same problem with all attachments, pdf, xls, doc, mp3 etc

in IE7, i simply get a dialog box saying its an uknown file type

in Firefox, as you said, it changes to something random like: kJaOsJh+.doc.part

in ?q=admin/settings/file-system i have setup file downloads to Private (public is not an option really)
