How To Avoid Downloading A File Directly From Webserver ?
I need to provide a way to download a software and its corresponding
manual from a web page.
So far I have done the sign in page where people give their data. I
will then give access to a page with a link allowing to download the
required file(s).
My worry is how to avoid that somebody grabs the URL of the file and
send it to another for downloading directly from the server. What can
I do to avoid this ?

How Do I Install A MSI File From Webserver On The Client Machine.
I have a web server running on a machine. When the users connect to that machine, it loads the ASP page. The ASP page has a ActiveX control on it and it gets downloaded to the client's machine. I have made the control as a signed control so there is no problem in download. Likewise, in the virtual directory path on the server, I have one clientsettings.MSI and that needs to be run on the server. Whenever the user tries to connect to the web page, in onload event of the web page, the .MSI file should be installed on the clients machine. For this to happen what all needs to be done ?

How To Redirect The User To New Page After Downloading An Mp3 File
I have set of mp3 files as a list (DownloadFiles.asp). The user can click on any of the mp3 files to download(Download_Porcess.asp).After downloading the file the user has to redirect to the DownloadFiles.asp. For this i used: response.contenttype="audio/mpeg3", response.binarywrite("binarystreamofmp3file) In Download_Process.asp to force the save dialog box. This works fine. This allows the user to download the file. After downloading this mp3 file, this file should not be displayed in the list ie in (DownloadFiles.asp). How can i do this? I am not able to redirect from Download_Process.asp to DownloadFiles.asp, b'coz I used response.binarywrite.
Unable To Browse Website While Downloading A File Using A Component
I've been trying to send a (large) file to the browser via a download page that uses a file download component.

I don't understand why it does that and I don't know how to fix this problem. Any idea? Code:
Directly From URL
I have the page "content.asp" and it is called from the "menu.asp" page. Two page are on diffenent servers and on different Databases. Users who request the content.asp page are authenticated when they enter the "menu.asp" page. So, if another authentication is required when users enter "conent.asp", it is redundent, I think. Finally, I want to reject users requests for content.asp if the page "contnet.asp" is requested directly from URL. Are there ways if the page content.asp is called from URL or the <a> tag in the menu.asp?

Edit Database Directly
I'm keen to learn how to do some simple asp script so that I can access my customer database over the internet from various locations. I want to know how to write the appropriate script into an html form (I use MS Frontpage as an editor) so that when I log in to my site I will be able to see and edit this database directly on the net without having to download the file for editing, then upload it again until next time.I understand that I will have to save my database as a MS Access file (*.mdb) because this format will work better with asp commands. If you know of an online Dummies Guide to ASP please let me have the link so I can learn some of the basics without having to bore you with working through all that.

Validating User Input To Avoid Attacks
I am working on a web application that uses both asp classic and asp.net pages. We need to validate user input to avoid attacks like sql injection. Can a component be created that both page types can use? Is that the best approach? Would I simply use pattern matching to validate strings and/or remove any unwanted characters?
Avoid Form Resubmission When REFRESH Clicked
I am working with website in which a user can login and then submit some forms. I want the user to avoid re-submitting the same form twice when he uses the browser refresh or when he goes to another page and then comes back to that same page using the browser back button. I know of two solutions: 1. Redirect to a different page after form submission - The problem with this approach is that the website has many forms. So redirecting each form to a different one is not a very feasible solution. 2. A token can be stored in session (or somewhere) after each form submission. These tokens can be verified if the form is being resubmitted - The problem with this approach is that the user can submit one form only once. I want the user to be able to submit the same form multiple times, provided with differetn data. Is there a suitable solution where a form with same data is submitted only once, but there is no such restriction with different data? Can the ASP request object be cleared after form submission, so even when refresh button is pressed, Request.Form elements dont have any data? (Storing ALL the information filled in each form during that session and then comparing for resubmit is not a clean solution I think??).
Finding The Webserver Name
I need to create a new application in our test server. I am using VID for that purpose. In order to set up the project in VID, it asks me 'which server you want to use'.

Webserver Services
I know I have seen a script on here before that would tell what services are installed on a webserver. We have a an old form that sends via CDONTS and the new webserver is running 2003. I know they could install the CDONTS but it takes them too long to get back to us and I'm sure they wouldn't want to install it. Could some one possibly point me out to the script so I can find out what to use to send the form?
SELECT Statement Pulls Field Names - How To Avoid?
I do a SELECT * from table command in an ASP page to build a text file out on our server, but the export is not to allow a field name rows of records.

Protect Documents And Images On Webserver
Is it a way I can protect my documents and images on a webserver without having direct access to administrate the webserver. When I make an asp page I protect the information pulised on this page easy. But if I link to some images and pdf files on my site, these are not protected. If a person get the url to this image or file thei can easy download it. One way to protect these files is to store them in a database, but is there another way to protect them. Can I for example password protect a folder where I can put all my files and images? Here I mean password protect a folder without having direct access to the webserver.
ASP/IIS Communicating With A VB Based Executable On The Webserver.
I am test developing an internal webserver, on Windows XP, and IIS 5.1, with ASP and MySQL. One specific page is created from user input and database records in previous pages and presents a page with customised data and a webform. It then takes input from the form and session variables and passes these to an vb exe in the the wwwroot using the from http://localhost/example.exe?testparameters. The vb exe takes the command line parameter input and does its thing and it all works, but I am aware this is a very insecure way of doing this and I implemented this only as a quick workaround so I could test implement it all then refine it for deployment. My question is, what is the best way for input to be passed from a web form to an vb executable for it to do its thing. The exe will eventually preferably run as a service, or at least all ways be active on the server, and not starting for every request then ending, as I was hoping to allow for sorting and queueing of requests passed to the exe, before they are executed. Code:
ASP Site Wont Work On Webserver
Ive build an asp website which works on my local machine and also works when i upload it to other web spaces, but when i upload to one web hosting space - it doesnt (which also happens to be where the client wants it to be). There are other asp sites running from that location too - which just puzzles me. Would it be something to do with that i use dsn less connections and the other ones use dsn?
ASP LDAP Query Working On Localhost But Not Webserver
I am using classic asp and making a connection to LDAP server using SQL code under IIS 5 on my localhost and it works great. I have a form and form fields that pull from active directory. Now, once I get the web team to deploy these files to the webserver where all users will be able to run this app.(this server is using IIS 6), my form fields show up blank. For the life of me I cannot see what is wrong or different except the IIS version. Also, I have gotten the IIS logs and they don't tell me anything.
Uploading Test Asp Page With Sql Server 2000 Onto Webserver

Downloading PWS
I have a problem and it's pretty basic. I need to install PWS on a Windows NT Workstation 4.0 PC in college but cannot find a download just for PWS. I've done a search of the web and microsoft's download site and still no luck. Installing IIS is not an option as Im technically not allowed to install anything and I'd rather it be PWS than a bigger and more noticeable IIS. I've heard that it comes on the Windows 98 disk but unfortuneatly I do not access to one. Does anyone know of a link to download PWS? I've heard that it comes with an NT Option Pack aswell but can I just install PWS from this or will it change other settings?
