Thanks Stephen - this isn't one of my Dreamhost sites, it's still on on-rev.

I am 99% sure the downloads directory was readable at one time - but I've decided to keep the extra security of explicitly deciding which URLs to to give out, and to whom - rather than a more permissive (even if filtered and parameterized) script. That would probably be a different decision if I had a larger number of files - but it's basically only a dozen or so files, referenced from 4 or 5 pages, plus a few mentioned in individual emails.

Thanks everyone for the help ...

This has been standard practice for shared hosting at Dreamhost for years.
I made an index.irev file that looked at the contents of the directory and
displayed a list, subject to filtering. Parameters set with simple txt
file. Very easy.

Most likely directory browsing is turned off.  You could change the
setting, or you could put in an irev that gets "the files" and builds a
link list dynamically, minus itself of course.

You're right - and I confess I don't know why the downloads folder is
inaccessible. Permission is set to 755, and there's no .htaccess file or
anything else I know of to prevent it.

Anyway - if you wanted the taskrunner files, they are :
  - taskrunner.rev
  - taskClientLib.rev
  - test-task-runner.rev
  - verybusy.rev
  - IndexFiles.rev
  - CheckURL.rev

and each one can be downloaded individually, for example

http://tweedly.org/downloads/taskrunner.rev


I guess I'll just have to find a silver lining ..... this must be a
security measure to keep files hidden unless I reveal the actual URLs.
And
I will very shortly change the taskRunner page to make the file entry
line
into links that are clickable.

(and btw, although I do still use taskRunner regularly, I haven't rebuilt
the executables since probably LC 5.0 - so approach with some caution :-)

Hi Alex,

Downloads folder in your server is not accessible.

It's not possible to download this stack either:
