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?

Downloading Using ASP.
I've been searching through google and different script sites to try and locate a script for simply downloading files(Small video clips) from an access database to my web page. But have been unable to find what I am looking for.

Do any of you guy's know of any good scripts. Don't need anything fancy just the basics.

PDF Downloading
I'm using Infomentum's ActiveFile to download files. My machine is running Windows'98 and IE 5.5. I'm able to download all kinds of files except PDF files. I'm using the components File.Download method as per the example available in the web site and the directory that contains the file has sufficient rights granted, surprisingly I'm able to download those PDF files through OPERA.

I did not get any error when I go to the download, instead a blank page was displayed.

Uploading And Downloading
I'm creating the Intranet for my company and in one of the parts of it I want that users to be able to upload and download files, however, I'm not sure what would be the best option/application to use for its creation. I need them specially for the uploading to be able to track when was the upload done, which user did it, and so on.

I have been using ASPs to create the website. Could I do this with ASPs ?

Videos Without Downloading
i want that user should listen the songs without downloading.
there is link for every song when user click on the link the small popup will open and then song should start. but for that user dont have to download the song.
please tell me it is possible or not or if possible then please tell me the code.

Downloading To Client From ASP
I am developing an app that has a reporting function
which displays the non-PDF reports. One of the users
wishes to have the reports saved to his machine as PDFs.

The app can convert the reports, and save to the server
with no problem (uses a component for this). The problem
is, figuring out how to save the reports to the client.

The ideal approach would be to have the app save the
reports to his desktop, like some of those stupid casino
sites save their shortcut links.

However, I would settle for just just being able to force
the "download" dialog to display, instead of opening
Acrobat when the app attempts to send the report to the
client.

Downloading A File
There any way to download files I'm keeping stored above the www
folder for security

I'm thinking of the following : My script determines what file the user
requests, checks their credentials, and then "forwards" the file from the
non public directory to the user.



Downloading Files...
The help is not very informative here, but it says, that it is possible to
download files, by using the 'a' tag. What I am trying to do, is create a
link, that the user clicks, which will download a file from the server. This
works fine for most files, but for things like TXT and HTM, they open in the
browser window. I want the 'Save As' dialog box to appear, instead.

If I use;
Response.Write "<a href='http://mydomain/myfile.txt'>myfile</a>"
I get the contents of myfile.txt displayed in the browser window. If I use;
Response.Write "<a href='http://mydomain/myfile.mdb'>myfile</a>"
I get the 'save file as' dialog box appear. How do I force the 'save file
as' dialog box to appear for ALL files

I tried using the 'FileSystemObject' and using the 'Copy' method of GetFile.
But this does not allow you to have a 'user defined' path to save the file
(which is pretty obvious, as this is the server side)... Is there another
function that I can use, or is there a property setting of the anchor tag,
that I need to set

Downloading Pdf File
From the client side, I want to download a pdf file from the server side that was initially saved there.

Downloading Files
I am writing asp page, based on the selection of the drop-down list I want to allow the user to download some files.for example

my drop-down list will contain a select control and a button

select control will have

File1.doc

Downloading Iles
I want to use the information stored in an SQL database. There is a website with .asp pages that access it. I want to know if I can download the .asp files un-compiled so that I can see how they access the database or is there a way to see how the database is structured without getting the asp files?

Downloading A File
I have a download function that allows a site visitor to download a file. It works when the page that calls the function, the function, and the file to download are all in the same folder. I want to be able to have the page that calls in one folder, the function in another folder and the file in a third. Any advice? Code that is working when all three are together:

Function doDownload (fileName)
dim myAttachment
myAttachment = "attachment; filename=" & fileName
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", myAttachment
Response.ContentType = "application"
response.BinaryWrite fileName

End Function

You Are Downloading The File

XP SP2 And Downloading Files
We have numerous pages that allow users to download textfiles. To invoke the File Download Dialog, we use ASP, FSO and ADODB Stream. It worked fine in SP1. In SP2, however, once downloading is done, the window that opened the File Download Dialog automatically closes. Any idea what's causing this? Where can I find information on SP2 in relation to FSO and ADODB Stream?

Uploading And Downloading
im trying to add a facility to upload and download files to and from my web site. The uploaded needs to be made available to be downloaded. Does anyone know the coding for this, as its being bugging me for weeks. I just cant find code anywere.

Know When Image Finishes Downloading
I'm developing a system for a person person to only be download the image once, but I have to allow for lose of connection for what ever reason. I've got the basic system working using SMS wap push.

I don't really want to give them a time window to download the item in as that leaves the possibility of them sharing with their friends, or not getting to download the image if the window expires.

What I want to do is use a querystring in the link to make the reference unique and flag in the DB when they've downloaded. Trouble is I can't figure out how to know when they've downloaded the image.

My train of thought has gone to getting some way to monitor how much of the image has been downloaded. Any one know how to do this? Or better yet anyone have any altrnative suggestions?

How Can I Know Whether Client Side Downloading Is Over Or Not
I am now working in a project where my client registers inmy site. after registering and the confirmation of the demand draft i will be sending him a link to the download of the product. till now the work is OK. but if in any case my client is not able to complete the downloading and if he wants to resume it in a later time, it is not possible.

Downloading Large Static
I am using forms authentication to protect all content as described in the
kb article below.
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;893662

This works fine except for files that are larger than about 40 or 50mb at
which point the user gets a 404 error and the httperr log indicates
connection_dropped status.
This is a w2k3 server with SP1 and all security patches installed.
Has anyone seen this before? I have been reading various posts online but
none seem to fit this symptom. Also have tried tuning various meta-base
properties to no avail.

Downloading Known Mime Types
I have a selection of MP3's on my website, (non-copyrighted of course), I have an asp page that list the directory of MP3's which then provides a link to another ASP page to force download the file.

<%
Response.AddHeader "content-disposition","attachment; filename=" & Request.QueryString("fname") & ""
%>

Up until the weekend just gone, this worked fine, but now it only downloads a 0 byte file.

Obviously my code hasn't changed, so has anyone any other ideas whats gone wrong or another way the force download of a known mime type can be acheived.

Downloading Or Opening A File In Asp
I want to create a asp page where i can give the user an option of downloading a file or opening a file e.g an excel file.

How do i do this?? Ive already created an asp page which has a button- where the user can click on the button. The excel option of either opening the file or downloading it comes up- but i want this option actually on a asp page. How do I go about this?

Report Downloading Into CSV Format
My ASP appllication displays reports and also provides a functionality to download the report in CSV format. This works fine. But If I change my local setting of my PC to finnish, then the csv file contains only one column and all the information is placed in that column.

Uploading/Downloading Script
I have an ASP Code that was provided to us, but from the research that I have been doing, it request an ASPUpload installed. Is that some sort of script on IIS? Or is it something that has to be purchased? I was trying the script, but when I do, I get an error:

Error Type:
Server object, ASP 0177 (0x800401F3)
Invalid class string
/upload/upload.asp, line 5

Line 5 has the following:

set objUpload = Server.CreateObject("Persits.Upload.1").

ASP Pages Downloading Instead Of Opening
I am working on a new website using .asp as the format and for some reason when I use firefox or IE to view the pages, I will be given the option to download the file instead of just opening the file in the browser.

The pages have been uploaded to test directory on a server that I use for development. The other pages that are my actual site that are asp pages work fine.

Any ideas?

Secure Files From Downloading
help me in securing a pdf file on my site. i want ot provide a pdf file that can only be viewed and not downloaded.

How To Secure File Downloading
I have been lately dealing with developing an ASP based web application which uploads documents to a folder. Application itself is password protected by the session.

I am now looking for securing the documents that are uploaded.

For example;

Let's say AAA.doc is uploaded to "/docs" folder by this password-protected application. But, I can't prevent the following link to download this Word document:

(URL address blocked: See forum rules)

How can I prevent the above link to download AAA.doc? Is it something possible to restrict it with a session variable? I also want the user who are authenticated at the beginning to view or download the file, but unauthenticated users shouldn't view it.

I found some articles but they are speaking about IIS level things. Folders may be created dynamically. Is it possible to have this security feature at application level?

Downloading Files Stored In SQL Server

Set db = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

Downloading Files / Asp-error With ZIPs Only
I have the following problem:

working on a "downlad-module" within a larger website, i tried several methods for downloading-files to the user.

mabye some basic infos first:

the website runs on win server 2003, using sql server 2000-database; pages are written in classic asp. The idea behind is, that all possible download-files (flyers, brochures, some it-stuff.. means pdf, docs, exe, zip-files.. "standard-mixed-stuff, i would say) are of course stored outside the website-root and are uploaded using a cms.
for each file, the information is stored in a database (not the file itself). beside path and filename, also content-type, descriptiton, user-restrictions etc.

within the page, the user will than receive a list of possible download files.
by clicking on the link, i redirect to a "download.asp"-page, where i just want to start the download by sending the file to the user. so far - so bad :-)

i tried 2 free components (TabsUpload; aspSmartUpload)and also a simple response.BinaryWrite and here´s the problem: everything works fine, as long as i am messing round with other file formats than ZIP (!). I can use the system for downloading pdfs, exe, docs... but when i want to dl a zip-file, the system "hangs up" (only the browser wants to connect endlessly.. its not a crash, because i can stop it by using ESC-key)

one interesting thing:
when i use the the BinaryWrite-method, a file is downloaded - but of course not the zip file - it is a html-page with the wrong content-type ;-) using a text/hex-editor, you can find this error message: Response Buffer Limit Exceeded

possible solution for this would normaly be, to turn Response.Buffer = False
but, for using either binaryWrite or one of the components, Response.Buffer should be set to True, as far as i know...

so anyway, here is the source-code: ...

File Downloading Problem In Firefox.
i am having prob while downloading a file in firefox. If the filename contains
spaces it takes only name before the first space. The rest of the part in the filename is egnored....

i use the following code for it.
--
Response.Addheader "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & filename
----
example if the filename is "sample filename.doc". while downloading it saves as "sample" the rest of the part filename.doc is removed.

The above code works fine in IE. Can anyone here tell me how i can handle this in firefox v1.

Downloading A File From A Folder Above Webroot
I am currently working on an ASP based site which displays largely numerical data, which is stored in an access database. I have been asked to create an 'export' page, which, when working properly will allow a user of the site to export the table he or she is looking at and export it to a .CSV file which they can save onto their own machine.

My problem lies here, I can create the .CSV file on the server, BUT permissions on our host are such that the file can only be saved to the 'databases' folder and not on the webroot.

Is there any way in which I can either setup a way for the user to download from the databases folder? or rather than creating the file on the server, directly write the file to the user's machine?

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 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.

WebDAV Downloading Attachments From Exchange Server
I have the following code, that retrieves the emails from a designated inbox, stores the message and subject content in a SQL database and then deletes them from the exchange server. Now I need to take the attachments for each email and save them on a different server.

I've researched this all day, and I keep finding references stating that I can download the file using, X-MS-ENUMATTS. I'm using it currently to retrieve a list of attached files, however I fail to see how I can download the attachment to my webserver using this.

The red code below is a request to the actual file. So I know the http path to the file, how do I go about saving it to my server? If I can't downlaod it without any user interaction, is there at least a way that I could allow the user to download the file via a link, without them being prompted for a username or password? Code:

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. The file downloads fine,
except that Internet Explorer refuses to browse to a different page
while the file is downloading! I don't understand why it does that
and I don't know how to fix this problem.

Any idea? Code:

Inserting Data
I'm wondering if it's possible to create an instance of an ADO Recordset and add values to it by ASP ??

Ex :
I have 2 arrays :
arr1 = Array(1,"allo")
arr2 = Array(2,"bonjour")

Is it possible to add these 2 arrays into a Recordset to manipulate de data more easily?
If yes, could you provide me with a little example to see the synthax, because I tried almost everything and it didn't worked at all

Inserting Smilies
how do i design my site interface such that users can insert smilies along with text in the form field just like it is here on sitepoint...

Inserting Record
i've tested my code and it seems to send back an error, when i'm trying to insert a record into my db (sql server)
Basically when I udpate one of the records it's fine ( I update at a certain "productID")
But when I insert a new record it sends back an error telling me that my "productID" can't be a null value?Any ideas on how to fix this?

Inserting Apostrophes Into DB?
When I insert info into a DB from a form, it cuts the string off at the first apostrophe (").

How would I make it insert the data as-is, with the apostrophes? Here is the code used to insert the Data:

Before Inserting Data
I am trying to make a web-based front-end for one of our programs. I'm running into a problem. Here's a sample of one of our tables:
Code:

CaseNo ChargeCount ArrestCharge FiledCharge
123 1 13 13
123 2 14 14
199 1 03 03


The ChageCount column cannot have nulls and must be unique. is there a way when I'm adding a new charge, i can check to see if a chargecount exists? For example, if inserting a new record, it will first check if there is a chargecount, if there is not, it will make it 1. if there is a charge count, it will +1 to the existing chargecount

Inserting Characters
Im doing a update page and noticed this error, whenever you want to write for example "can't, i've" it errors on submit, but characters like "." are okay. Why doesn't it like these characters and how can i make it like them? I need some extra code?

Inserting Into A Database
I have the folllowing page where a user can add a review to the website. So far the page works fine, but on the review rating section I know that the rating is between 0 - 5.

But its posible for a user to enter 1000 if they wished, which still means the page works but the answer is too high.

Also if they write text in the field it errors the page. How do i code this so that they can only enter a number between 0 and 5 and only a number and not text.

Inserting Link
I want to make a button just like here (when posting new thread) to insert hyperlink into text.
For example when user is typing text into textarea I would like to have also a button that can enable users to post different links to other intenet pages.
And I would also like to have button that makes the text bold
(Actually those are buttons that appear on most forums when posting a new thread)

Problem In Inserting
I got a webpage in which I am cheking various checkbox values.Actually the problem that I am facing is that,I am not able to insert the contents in to the database.

But no error is coming.What I am doing is that,when the user submits the form,using a retrun querystring,i am storing all the checked values in to an array.I am able to print this array with correct output.But whn i am trying to insert in to the database,it is not getting inserted.
