On the website, the attachment is displayed but when I click on it, it says "File does not exist'! This is really mind boggling. I can't work out what I am doing wrong! Please help me because my client heavily depends on the website.

When I directly go to the url (in my browser)
http:/www./kunstzone.nl/media/k2/attachments/kunstzone_11-2012.pdf
Presto: the pdf is there and I can read it no problem!
But when I type in
kunstzone.nl/media/k2/attachments/kunstzone_11-2012.pdf (no WWW in front of the url!!) I get redirected to a log in page of my Joomla backend!!!
When I copy the location of the attachment in the browser
kunstzone.nl/editiesenartikelen/edities-2003-nu/item/download/10_24afeaee39095ccaeab5bdd57f81ade3
it says : File doesn't exist
But, when I type in the exact location on the attachment on the server www.kunstzone.nl/images/downloads/edities/Kunstzone_11-2012.pdf, I can open the file perfectly.
I found this post on another forum and wonder if this is the solution

Please make sure that you have not changed the attachments root folder in K2 parameters.

Or you have some weird redirect in your main .htaccess file for kunstzone.nl that does not match www.kunstzone.nl. That would explain the redirect to the login page. Of course it could also be the "security" component doing this.
Finally, it could be an "owner" or "file" permission issue with your hosting account. Judging from the fact that your folder is 777, I assume your hosting company is running PHP on the server as an Apache module. In other words, owner permissions are messed up and in order for Joomla to work, your hosting company is so smart that they decided to give global read/write access to your site's folders... I can't stress how important it is for you to move to another host...
Lastly, on a thread that's currently active, for a product that is 100% free, you should wait a little while before posting in the Joomla! Extensions Directory that K2 sucks extensions.joomla.org/extensions/authoring-a-content/content-construction/8061#rev-157188 - This shows that not only you don't understand open source, you also don't value the time of people who provide free support to you. And therefore you're bashing an entire community for what? Because your hosting company eventually sucks?

Can you tell which files are affected? Random attachments or is there a pattern?

This is unrelated to your issue.
