Is there any way to access binary files for download with a direct link?
My current attempt redirects me to the index page.
{let site_url=ezini('SiteSettings','SiteURL') file_path=$item.data_map.file.content.filepath} {concat('http://', $site_url, '/', $file_path)} {/let}

The above code returns
http://leeroy:8080/var/plain/storage/original/video/9a379be98aea17c5b5602184f27e5a55.flv
but accessing the link redirects me to the index page.That is the correct path to the file.
I saw other forum entries about overiding the the ezbinaryfile.tpl, but it is not to clear how I can output the direct link to the file into an xml file for use by another application.
I do like this product, but it is to be very difficult to do what many percieve should be easy.

try this in a .tpl:
<a href=content/download/{$node.object.data_map.file.contentobject_id}/{$node.object.data_map.file.id}/file/{$node.object.data_map.file.content.original_filename }>{$node.object.data_map.file.content.original_filename|wash( xhtml )}</a> {$node.object.data_map.file.content.filesize|si( byte )}
