title: How to enable .zip file download in a directory inside wordpress website
body: <p>I have created a wordpress website. I have created a directory named <em>my-resources</em> in the root directory &amp; uploaded few zip files to it via FTP. Now I am trying to download the zip files by directly entering the zip file URL in a browser but it is always showing the wordpress default 404 page. I tried to enable using .htaccess without any success.</p>
  
  <p>Example URL: <a href="http://www.example.com/my-resources/sample.zip" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.example.com/my-resources/sample.zip</a></p>
  
  <p>Additional Notes:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Its a Linux Server</li>
  <li>I have configured permalinks like <a href="http://www.example.com/sample-post/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.example.com/sample-post/</a></li>
  <li>I have installed <em>Easy Media Download</em>, <em>Yoast SEO</em> plugins which I think might conflict with the file download</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>How do I enable to download zip files from a particular directory?</p>
