Attached files on a CRM 2011 portal

Hello,

I have developed a portal for case management in CRM 2011, based on the Customer Portal. Everything is working fine except for attaching files. I can attach files through the portal and access them through the CRM 2011 UI, but when i try to open them through the portal they are trying to be opened from '_entity/annotation/GUID of attachment'. Is it possible to open attachments or should i just hide these from being displayed on the portal?

Thanks in advance

You could do a retrieve or retrievemultiple request on the annotation entity based on the guid. Then if you decode the documentbody property I think you could probably stream that to the user as a file. I think it's just the document body that has been base-64 encoded as a string.
