I want to be able to access a folder from my tomcat webapps folder so that I can give someone a URL like:

http://localhost:8080/myFolder/myFile.f

And in a web browser if they point to this they should start downloading the file.

But in reality I get a 404 error when I try to point to this location.

How can I solve this or get around it.
