403 for a zip the /img/cms folder despite a 0775 permission

[Yann222]

I don't see any mention of this folder in the .htaccess file either. 
I'm assuming that this folder is some kind of hard locked for security reasons but if anyone could confirm (or deny) that I's appreciate it. 

edit: solved it. 

As it turns out there is a different .htaccess file in the CMS folder that only gives access to files with certain image and video extensions, i simply added "zip" to it and that did the trick

<Files ~ "(?i)^.*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp|tiff|svg|pdf|mov|mpeg|mp4|avi|mpg|wma|flv|webm|zip)$">
    order deny,allow
    allow from all
</Files>
