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:
In IIS, when I try to browse an aspx, I get a popup message asking me if I want to open or to save the file instead of actually browsing to the page. Any idea of what could cause this issue?
View Replies View Relatedwhat setting should i need to do if i want to share this website (asp) to the other? i try to use the ip address instead of my localhost, but it still not work. Can any one help me to solve this problem?
View Replies View RelatedI started to put code into my website for uploading files via the browse button and realized that the "how to" mentioned a database etc etc. Do I really need a database?
All I want is the file to be sent to an email address - info@ - with some basic information provided the user... but I did research on attaching files via email and it said that the file needs to be on the server anyway(???) - is it really that
complicated?
I have no idea how to browse an image file and then view it, in this case i developed HR application that can browse their own photo and view in the page. but anyone have a script or idea for doing that?
View Replies View RelatedIs it possible to have a form where people fill out their basic information and then have an option to where they can browse their files and send a file when they send the form? You know, add an attatchment like they have in email forms?
Then when the form is sent to the email address whoever received it can download the attatchment? If this can be done, can someone point me in the right direction on where to go to figure out how to do this? I dont know much about asp.
I have a form where a user enters their name, date etc. i also want them to be able to click on a browse button and select a file which will then appear in a textbox. when they press submit i want the file name and path to be put into the database. e.g.
"C:windowsworkwork.doc".
Basically I don't want to UPLOAD the file just enable the user to browse to it and send the filename and path to the database.
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.
From the client side, I want to download a pdf file from the server side that was initially saved there.
this site didnt work for me: ....
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
I have an asp script on a server. However whenever I link to the script, instead of running it, the browser displays a message saying. "You are downloading the file "filename" from "server name" Would you like to open this file or save it to your computer ?
View Replies View RelatedI 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?
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?
I have written code to download the file stored in the database.
according to some condition the data in database is written using binary write.
If Not rs.EOF Then
Response.ContentType = rs("Content Type")
Response.BinaryWrite rs("File Data")
End If
but when i try to write some filles other than pictures, it will prompt to save the asp file. Code:
I use the following code in an asp.net page to download file from my site to the user:
Response.Buffer = True
Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=""" & dsDocFile.Tables("tbl_DocFile").Rows.Find(FileID).Item("FileName") & """")
Response.Flush()
Response.WriteFile(sFileName)
This works with most every file type I've run across (jpg, gif, doc, ppt, xls, etc..). Normally when the user tries to access a file, a download window pops up asking the user whether he/she wants to open or save the file.
However, when the file is a zip file, the user just receives a blank screen instead of the usual download window. Has any one run into this problem? If yes, how did you resolve it?
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.
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?
I have a file in a top level directory called inc_protect.asp. I'm trying to include that file in a page called tree.asp. The code to include the file is
<!--#Include file="inc_protect.asp"-->
When I try that line or
<!--#Include file="../inc_protect.asp"-->
or
<!--#Include file="http://mysite/inc_protect.asp"-->
The server returns an error saying that the file is not found. Anyone have any suggestions on this? All files are asp script. The tree.asp is in a folder called SupServ directly below inc_protect.asp... Can these not go backwards?

View Replies View RelatedI need to provide a way to download a software and its corresponding

So far I have done the sign in page where people give their data. I

send it to another for downloading directly from the server. What can
I do to avoid this ?
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.
if someone can help me on VB/ASP.Net project. The project was
developed by another developer on another machine. I need to load it and
make some changes to this project. I get error message "Unable to read
project file (name of the file). The Project file has been renamed or is no
longer in the solution.
I have a folder on webserverwwwroot, called staticContent. The folder
has several message of the day text files, such as RepMotd.text. I have
an admin page, AdminMotd.aspx, that allows a user to view and edit the
contents of the files.
Webserver is running Win Server 2003 64-bit and IIS 6.0. The development
machine is Win XP, using Visual Studio 2005 (thus ASP.Net 2.0.)
In IIS, staticContent folder has Write checked and execute permission is
set to Script Only . In NTSF, the folder grants full permissions to
Network System.
When I try to overwrite an existing file in staticContent, or try to
create a new file, I get a System.UnauthorizedAccessException. The
Application error log on webserver notes that the error is on the page
I am trying to run, that my user name is what I logged in as, that I am
authenticated, and that the thread account name is NT AUTHORITYNETWORK
SYSTEM. Elsewhere, I am able to read these same files and insert them
dynamically into the web page.
This is the code that I am trying to run in AdminMotd.aspx, cut down to
the basics. If it makes any difference, the code is run "in page" and
not as part of a separate code-behind file.
******************
<script runat="server">
Protected Sub MotdChange(ByVal ThisFile As String, ByVal ThisText As
String)
Dim sw As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(StaticRoot + ThisFile,
False)
sw.Write(ThisText)
sw.Close()
End Sub
Protected Sub RepMotdChange_Click(Byval sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
MotdChange("RepMotd.text", RepMotdText.Text)
End Sub
</script>
<asp:Content ...>
<asp:TextBox ID="RepMotdText" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="RepMotdChange" runat="server" />
</asp:Content>
********************
I have traced that the error occurs when New StreamWriter is called,
rather than when actually trying to write to the file. Obviously I'm
missing something, but danged if I can find it.
