Let me explain the problem.
When you upload a file you can put it where you like using
uploadfolder. The file gets renames
table.field.JUNK.extension
where JUNK is a UUID including the b16encoded original filename. So
far so good.
Now if you try to download the file with
http://..../app/default/download/table.field.JUNK.extension
the default download action retrieve the table, the field and the
record that contains a reference to the file. If authentication is
enforced (not your case) it checks permissions for that record and
field.
It then retrieves and returns the file. This is the problem. In this
phase it looks for the file in uploadfolder which is an attribute of
the db.table.field, not as attribute of the file (it could not be).
One option you have is store the folder name in the record with the
file and write your own download function that retrieves and uses the
information.
