Hello,

I tried to download files by adding a Directory symbolic link to their location under wwwroot folder, but files were not accessible under IW app.

I checked the symbolic link folder using the IIS and it was working fine (after adding  MIME type ".*" as application/octet-stream).

Thanks in advance...

Mohamed

IW has a very strict security policy related to downloading files outside wwwroot folder. I assume symbolic links won't work in this context, but I'd have to try it out and see.
However, although it might work the design purpose of directory symbolic links didn't have IIS in mind: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library...S.85).aspx

Thanks Alex... Please let me know your test results and if there is a workaround.
