oldbloke's mutterings

Here's my problem:

I have some exe and dll files on an IIS6 server.
I want a chap to be able to download them.
Easy enough, you say.
Would be in Firefox or similar, but in IE it gives a 404. Something to do with scripting and exe being enabled direct from the server.
I think I need to leave it enabled, for people whose apps connect to it "properly".
Plus he actually needs the whole directory, so we were trying to use wget.

Any way I can make wget think like FF does, so it'll just work?
Any alternative to wget?
Maybe FF can be magicked into doing a wget-ish operation?

I'll check if I really do need scripting+executables enabled on that folder...


It's actually a Sophos CID. He has a private network and the easiest way to keep his Sophos on it up to date would be to copy the whole CID over to his server and run the setup.exe that's in it from the various workstations.
