I'd guess the problem is that apache is running under user x and tomcat is running under user y, and user x doesn't by default have permission to read files created by user y. Possible solutions include: Run apache and tomcat as same user Play with umask and directory settings Download the files via the web application There are of course security issues you should be aware of. If it was me, I'd download the files via the web application because that puts all access control where you already have it, and breaks the directory level dependency between apache and tomcat. But I don't know your requirements. -- Ian.
