Downloading from media library

Sean Kelly	Tuesday 13 September 2005 2:04:52 pm Hi, I've uploaded some files to my 3.6 installation and associated them to a page. They are mainly .DOC with some .PDF files containing technical reference material. I can create a link to them for people to "download this file" by using the ezobject:// link in a link href tag. When you view the site and click on these links, however, it takes you to an error page and provides you with a login form. I assume once logged in you can get the file. My problem is that I don't want (or actually need) people to log into my site. I just want normal web users to be able to get my reference files. How do I do this? Thanks, Sean.
