Unable to download any exe files from our web server

Asked by aaepa in Microsoft Operating Systems, Server Applications, Internet Protocols

Tags: download, web server, exe file

Perhaps this is something simple but I don't know what it is.  For years I have been able to upload files via FTP to our web server and users log in to our website and download their user-specific files via their web browsers.  For the past two days, users have been unable to download EXE files.  The files are visible, but all users get a message that says "Page not found".  If I upload a ZIP file with the same contents (the EXEs were simply self-extracting ZIPs) the users are all able to download those files.

Wht would cause this?  (Note: I know absolutely nothing about the web server - that's not my area (I am "very" remote to this office and am just interested in the "why" so perhaps I can give the info to our web department, who does not know what is going on either.))
