404 means "no such file exists at this location", not "you don't have
permission to see this file". The two possibilities are
1) The files are not located where you think they are.
2) The links you are generating are not pointing to where you think they
are.

My initial guess would be that you're not uploading the files as correctly
as you think you are. Without any code to look at, however, there's no
way to be sure.
