问题
I have an apache webserver running on centos environment. There is a folder and in that there is a file which has an extension .exe lets name the file x.exe
when I try download this file using http://mysite.com/folder/x.exe I get a 403 error.
but if I add a gif to that folder it works http://mysite.com/folder/pic.gif
I dont have SSH access to this server but need to know some clue for why this is happenning, the file permissions are correct too.
any help is appreciated

Within Apache's httpd.conf, it is possible to specify default handling actions for certain file types or paths. It may be that your server is configured to block executable files all together. Similar blocking can also occur in an .htaccess file. There are a few ways to do it... here's one:
<Files ~ "\.exe$">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>
That little snippet could be in the main .conf file, and included .conf file, OR an .htaccess file (or all three!), and again, that is just one possibility. Your best bet is to check out the server logs. They will indicate why a given request was denied in a form similar to this:
[Wed Oct 11 14:32:52 2000] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by server configuration: /www/root
Take a look at this document for information about server logs (including default paths to the logs themselves).
As I mentioned, there are a few other ways to block access to certain file types, certain files, certain folders, etc. Without looking at the error logs, it is very difficult to determine the cause. Further, without full access to the server, it may not be possible to alter this behavior. This blockage could be in place as a matter of policy for your web host.

I'd like to add I spent like 2 hours trying this crap over and over again only to discover that selinux was denying specific file types for httpd.
try:
setenforce Permissive
and see if that corrects the error

well the answer was I had this in a folder where it forbids the exe
Deny from all
