I am running Win2k3 with IIS 6.  I have a file test.px that cannot be
accessed.  When i rename the file test.txt, it can be downloaded.  It
seems as though IIS is filtering what file types can be transferred. 
Is there any way to fix this?
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

Hi,

If you just want to download any file from that directory then you can
opt for directory browsing.
Open IIS, click on virtual directory and then right click and properties
and select directory browsing for this. Now all the file for this will
come as a link and you can download any file.

Beware its quite risky as everybody else too can download from this
directory if they have access.

Tried that already.  Doesn't work.
