This has really got me befuddled...

I've mounted a share, like this:

//srv1/UserUploads    /mount/UserUploads   cifs       rw,user,exec,uid=wwwrun,gid=www,username=shareuser,password=sharepw        0 0

I then have a symlink here:

WEBSVR:/Web/htdocs/public_html # ls -l useruploads
lrwxrwxrwx 1 wwwrun www 18 Dec  7 09:18 useruploads -> /mount/UserUploads

Oddly, if I ls inside the mounted area, items appear with a capital S

-rwxrwSrwx 1 wwwrun www   4077 Dec 30 14:54 prop9.jpg
-rwxrwSrwx 1 wwwrun www      4 Jan 12 15:57 test.html

And if I bring up test.html in a browser, it works fine, but if I go to prop9.jpg, chrome gives me this error:

This web page is not available.

The web page at http://10.1.64.100/useruploads/webteam/help2let/prop6-1.jpg might be >temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

More information on this error Below is the original error message

Error 100 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED): Unknown error.

Has anyone seen this behaviour where the binary files (images) arent displayed, but html/text is?
