Default Save As Type And Filename

I have an asp page that produces output from a database. This allows a
simple way for the user to save the data to a text file by going to
File->Save as...

The default save as options always defaults to a particular filename and the
save as type is always html, therefore the user has to manually type a
filename and choose Text File (*.txt) as the type.

I remember I was able to overide ride these options with the following code.

Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=myfilename"

This doesn't seem to be working for me anymore.

Any thoughts?

IE's Default For Save As Type Incorrect

I'm using a binary stream to send down a file with ASP from the web
server. I've been having trouble with IE and getting it to recognize
my file. I've added the filename as a paramater(?filename=file.jpgw)
to handle IE's mime type mangling, but I'm still having trouble with
IE's default Save As Type being HTML.

When we send down a jpgw
(geo-jpeg) file IE wants to save it as an HTML file. I've got the
correct filename showing in the Filename box, and if I choose the All
Files option from the Save As Type drop down then the file is saved
with the correct extension. I'd like to have the All Files option
choosen by default. I know it's just a couple of clicks but we have
some noivce users that can't seem to get that.

ADODB.Stream Default Filename Wrong

I use the Stream method to serve certain file types to the user. If the
type is pdf, it opens in the browser fine. My problem is with those
that the browser doesn't have plug-ins such as ppt, word, etc. it
prompts to choose Open/Save/Cancel and defaults the filename to the ASP
page serving the content. ie. BinarySend.asp -> BinarySend.doc,
BinarySend.ppt.

If I use
Response.AddHeader "content-disposition", "attachment;filename=" &
sFileName then it defaults the filename to the name I specify but
always prompt a download instead of opening directly.

Is there another way to default the filename in situation like this?

Setting A Default Value For The Input Type File?

I'm building a system where a presenter uploads a PPT to my server and
then I show it to all the participants. The problem is that most of the
media in the PPT is usually linked, so I'll need to upload all that
too.

Assuming I can parse the PPT and figure the exact name and
location of each of the media files I need from his hard-disk, is there
any way I can upload all these files automatically, without having to
make the user choose each of these files manually? If that's not
possible, can I atleast show the user a page with a list of input boxes
of type file, pre-populated with the file-path and name of the media
files I need, so that the user can just click 'Submit' without having
to browse and select each of them?

Please say yes. It would be a major usability crisis if my users had to
keep hitting the browse button so many times for each PPT! Especially
when I know exactly what files I need and where they are! I know that
this has a lot to do with browser security, but there's got to be SOME
way out?

New Type Of Injection? Rewrite Default Document?

This is weird, I'm pretty familiar with SQL Injection - but we're getting these weird injection that is writing in the default document or home page. What it's doing is putting in script code at the top or bottom of the home page... it looks something like this:

What it's doing is decoding itself into an iframe that links out to popups that will try and download a virus on your machine. I don't get the popup in my machine because i think i have a newer version of IE. But some people have complained that it is installing a virus on their machine.

Also what is crazy is when I replace the file with a good version. In about 30 mins, it automatically overwritten with the infected version. Also I've noticed it on some other websites that I haven't touched.

Has anyone encountered this before? Because I'm stumped as to the cause of it. I don't see the issue on our dev server. It seems to be IIS on a shared host.

Save As Type List

I am sending an attachment to a user with the following code. This
successfully prompts the user to Save or Open, provides the correct file
name, and displays "Microsoft Excel Worksheet" as the Type.

However, when the user clicks "Save", the "Save As File Type" in the
resulting dialog displays 'HTML Document'. There is only one other entry in
the list - "All Files". How can I modify the code to display "Excel

Getting Filename From Form Then Deleting - Filename Is Changing!?!

I have a form that gets a filename from a db like so

<FORM METHOD="POST" encType="multipart/form-data" ACTION="pic_delete.asp">
<input type="hidden" name="File1" value="<%=rstemp("filename")%>">
<input type="hidden" name="ImageID" value="<%=rstemp("ImageID")%>">
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME="cmdSubmit" VALUE="Delete" ></form>

when I submit I get the error message "File not found"

So a did a respnse write to write my filename and found it is now called 2006_Apr_19-83955.23.bin It seems to be the time as it changes each time I try and get the filename to write...

this is the code on my delete page

<%
Dim Upload
Dim FileName
Dim Folder
Set Upload = New clsUpload
FileName = Upload("File1").FileName
response.write "Here is the file " & FileName & " name <br>"

Folder = Server.MapPath("..country") & "" & strPathToSave
response.write "Here is the folder " & folder & " name"

Upload.DeleteFile Folder & FileName
'Upload("File1").SaveAs Folder & FileName
Set Upload = Nothing %>

The folder name comes out right, just the filename changes.

If Filename Contains Then

I'm looking for a way to check if a directory has any filenames with 'w9' in it, and if so print 'yes' in the appropriate place. My database has a field called CustomFieldFilesDir where the appropriate folder structure is already entered for each person ex. 'p:john doe'. I've searched and found scripts that look at extensions but not the file names themselves.

Download Under A Different Filename

My problem is: i need to write an ASP page which first checks whether
the user has permissions to download a ZIP file, and then streams the
file itself if the user is allowed to see it.

I have succeeded until
this point, but the client browser asks to save the file with the
original filename (and ASP extension). Obviously this would mean
making the downloaded file unusable at client side, unless I tell the
site user to manually rename it, but this is not a solution.

So I ask you: is there any way for an ASP page to stream data to the
browser and have it saved with a default file name and extension which
are different from the page's ones? Code:

Randomise A Filename's Name

I've created an upload application that allows a user to upload a file a space on the web server.

What I want is when a user selects the file to upload, when the upload process takes places, a random number is generated and added to that filename.

I work out I can add the code:

intrandomnumber = Int((1000000-1+1)*Rnd+1)

but how do you do the change to the filename when it uploaded as I can change the filename name but the physical filename name would be the filename held on the user PC?

Trimming Filename

I am storing URL in a database for a 'sort of' directory type website.The <a href> is built from the recordset of URL's which is all working no problem, easy stuff.What I have found is going to be necessary in some cases is to trim the URL back to just it's www.abc.co.uk address for the link display.

I still want the actual link to go to it's long 'deep linking' location, but there is limited room for displaying a URL that could be a hundred chars long.

Request The Filename

One of the things I do is do my testing on an alternate address, then store the file as the regular address after it tests correctly, but since I might mention the test page in various forums when I ask questions, I leave it uploaded just in case someone later sees the link and clicks it.

So far, my kludgy way of handling it is to have a variable called "thispage" and set it equal to the page I'm working on, so when it links to itself, it links back to the page in question.

Is there a way of automatically testing for this value instead of manually defining it? I tried a quick Google search, but I didn't know what to call it. I assume it might be in the same general collection as the HTTP_REFERER item.

Specify Mime Filename

I have an ASP page that causes Excel to be loaded on the client PC with the text sent from within the page. An excerpt of it is shown below:

With Response
.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
.Write(strResponse)
.Flush
.End
End With

where strResponse is the text to be displayed in Excel. This all works fine and as expected, but the only problem is that the file is opened in Excel on the client with a filename that reflects the page from which the information originated. Is there any way of specifying the filename using MIME, for example if I wanted the file to be loaded in Excel as "myfile.xls"?
