ASP Force Download Of File From Webserver
I am creating an asp application which is essentially a file management app. I am trying to get my head around a technically issue wonder if someone can offer some help.
I want to be able to force the download of the files are attached to a particular record.
The code which i use to force the download is:
<%
strPath = "C:MyFiles"
Set Upload = Server.CreateObject("Persits.Upload")
' Build path to file
strPath = uploadfilepathactual
Path = strPath & "" & strFileName
Upload.SendBinary Path, True, "application/octet-binary", True
%>
I want to be able to change the path to say something like
strPath = servernamec$myfiles
Is the above possible. Any other alternatives.

I'm trying to force a file download using ASP but not getting very far... I want the browser to send .pdf files to the user rather than trying to open them within IE (or wotever browser). Does anyone know what code I should use for this?

The below code forces a prompt to the user to open or save the .pdf file file to their local machine. It seems to work great except I have one user who can not open any .pdfs using this prompting method. He gets an error that says "File could not be found". However, if we choose the 'save' option instead, we can save the file to his local machine. He can open .pdf files from normal links to .pdf files. It's just this prompting method that is causing a problem. So, I'm perplexed.
I did some digging and found that there is also an FSO (File System Object) method (which may or may not solve my problem), but I'm not sure how to impliment the FSO or if that will even help me with this.

How do I force a pdf to be downloaded rather than opened in a browser window?
I've got the code below, which seems to work in Firefox, but in IE7 it spits out a huge page of wierd characters:
<%
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
FPath = server.mappath("pdf/portfolio.pdf")
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=" & FPath
Set adoStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
adoStream.Open()
adoStream.Type = 1
adoStream.LoadFromFile(FPath)
Response.BinaryWrite adoStream.Read()
adoStream.Close
Set adoStream = Nothing
Response.End
%>

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 ?

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 ?

Will IIS6.0 recognize a global.asa file located in a subdirectory on the webserver?
I'd like a file that will execute whenever a file in the subdirectory is browsed - or, at least it is executed the first time a file in the subdirectory is browsed.

Downloaded the sendMail.htm and sendMail.asp sample files
from technet onto my IIS 4.0 server. The first 2-3 times
I tested all went well. Subsequent tests, with no server
changes, gave/gives me the "File Download" dialogue box
when the sendMail.asp file should be executing. Why does
sendMail.asp give a "File Download" box instead of just
executing?

I want to be able to let users download movies from my site, but when they click on the link it opens automatically with windows media player. Of course, they could right click and save target as, but the majority of users don't realise this.
Is there a way to tell a page to send the file to the browser as an attachment and force them to save it to disk i.e. not open automatically.

I want the MP3 audio files to be able to download by users only. Even I set the pages validated by session, anyone still can type the download url to get my files without access of the pages where download URL provided.

Currently i am doing a file management project where user are able to create folder and upload files to it. The file ownner would be able to set permission (from database linking to the file path) if a user able to download it or not.
*each file info will be stored into a table e.g. fileid, filename, path, access.
Now i am facing a problem where if a user does not have permission to click on the link to download, the user can guess the path and the file name and directly type the path on the address bar to download the file.

i want to be able to write an asp.net function to download files.
For example, brinkster.com hosting service has a COM component that allows a stream of binary data to the client from the server so that the client will be prompted to download the file.
here is the syntax:
Set Upload = Server.CreateObject("Persits.Upload")
Dim SysFilePath
SysFilePath = Request.QueryString("filePath")
' Parmeters:
' 1. Path to file to download
' 2. Yes, build content-xxx headers
' 3. Use this value for Content-Type header
' 4. Include the word "attachment;" to Content-Disposition to force download
Upload.SendBinary "premfs3sitespremium8jaydakissx22webrootmyFile.txt, True, "application/octet-binary", True
How can I do this in asp.net without using the "Persits.Upload" COM object?

if anyone had any script that can allow a page to run some code and then kick off a file download.Maybe like many places do saying download should start automatically or you can "click here".I appologise if this is easy to work out from the source of one of those pages, but my view source seems to have died and I thought an answer from here might be quicker than fixing it!
