404 - File or directory (a web.config file) not found - BUT FILE IS THERE
I enter my url and it shows the directory structure. There are some folders, which I can navigate to just fine, plus a Web.config file. I click the link and get the 404 error. The same thing happens for my Global.asax file. Why can't my file be found?

It seems you use ASP.NET framework. IIS forbid the “http access” to these files.

You can't open them for security reasons. You're not supposed to be able to open them in a browser.
