However, users are forced to log in (and register if not already registered) in order to download the file. Is this a design feature, a bug, or are we doing something wrong
Thanks - John

Forum rules
This forum is meant for general questions about the usability of OCS from an everyday user's perspective: conference managers, presenters, and directors are welcome to post questions here, as are librarians and other support staff. We welcome general questions about the role of OCS and how the workflow works, as well as specific function- or user-related questions.
What to do if you have general, workflow or usability questions about OCS:
1. Read the documentation. We've written documentation to cover from OCS basics to system administration and code development, and we encourage you to read it.
2. take a look at the tutorials. We will continue to add tutorials covering OCS basics as time goes on.
3. Post a question. Questions are always welcome here, but if it's a technical question you should probably post to the OCS Technical Support subforum; if you have a development question, try the OCS Development subforum.

We've uploaded an accomodation booking form under Home > [conference] > User > Conference Site Management > Accommodation and we can see it in Home > Conference Site Management > Files Browser.

Hi John,
That shouldn't be happening, unless you have set your site access to require registration/login for any page (under Website Management Step 2.5). Check that, and get back to me if that's not the case.
Cheers,
James

Hi John,
Yes, that's the one. If you are still having problems, can you provide me with an URL to check?
Cheers,
James

The link to the file is http://conference.services.openoffice.org/index.php/ooocon/index/login?source=%2Findex.php%2Fooocon%2Findex%2Fmanager%2Ffiles%2Fdocs%2FBOOKINGFORM-OOoCon2009.odt
On the live site, we have implemented a workround by hosting the file on another site, and providing a link to the other site. However, it would be better if we could get it to work from within OCS!
