Direct Links returning 404 errors

After creating a Direct link of any type and pressing the "Test" button the new browser window opens with a 404 error.  I setup a fresh install on a separate server to test and received the same result.  Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing?  Running IIS 6 w/ASP.net 2.0.50727

BTW: This is an awesome product well worth its cost!!!  Thank you.

Yes, we got reports about direct link problem on IIS6.
The reason is, IIS6 does not allow extensionless URLs (as in http://server/filevista/link) by default like IIS7.
However you can configure it to do so.

IIS6 Extension-less URLs:

1. Open Application Configuration Properties dialog of Filevista in IIS (Open Properties -> Virtual Directory tab and click Configuration button). 

2. Next to the Wildcard application maps section, click the Insert… button

3. This brings up the wildcard application mapping dialog. Enter the path to the aspnet_isapi.dll. 
You’re going to need to know the path to the aspnet_isapi.dll first. It's generally:
c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll
It might differ on your machine. One easy way to find out is to find the .aspx extension in the list and double click it to bring up the mapping dialog. Don’t forget to uncheck the Verify that file exists checkbox.

Let me know the results.

Ok here is another quick fix (includes also Fix 1 discussed in Directlink timeout when password option used) for the 404 not found problem in IIS6:
Fix 2 for FileVista v4.0

FileVista will detect if it's running under IIS6 (Classic pipeline mode) and use "link.ashx" in URL (with an extension) for the direct links. This way you will not have to configure IIS6 like above, you can disregard those settings after this fix.

When running under IIS7 (Integrated pipeline mode), it will use "link" in URL (extension-less) for the direct links.

Let me know the results.

Works Perfectly...  THANK YOU!!!  I was a bit concerned with the performance hit from the wildcard mapping approach, I like this much better.  Thank you again...

I am having the same problem with direct link.  I did apply the "Fix 2".  I am runing Abyss Web Server v2.6 w/ASP.net 2.0.50727.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I am not familiar with Abyss Web Server but I guess you should check ".ashx" file mapping is set correctly.
By the way do you see "link" or "link.ashx" in the URL?

I see link.ashx in the URL.  I also checked and the file extension ".ashx" is in the File Vista asp.NET file listing in my server.
