How to allow .iso file download from virtual directory

Question

_{Thursday, August 30, 2012 5:52 AM}

I am trying to get a .iso file posted on my web site that will be able to be downloaded from there and cant seem to find a method that works. I tried a Handler Mapping for *.iso set to a module of StaticFileModule and then selected the request restrictions to Invoke Handler only if request is mapped to file, and access set as script. This is for a virtual directory only because I only want this portion of the site to have files that people can openly see and download (I have directory browsing enabled). However, when I click on the link it takes me to a blank page in IE and when I click save as it is less than a KB in size for a 3 GB iso image. Any help?

Hi,

You will need to add a MIME type for the iso file.
