How Do I Detect File Download Being Cancelled?
I have a file download queue consisting of a SQL Server Table holding details of the files in the queue, and a download folder where the actual file resides.
The table is gone through to list for the user all files available for download (ie. all files not marked for deletion). The User selectes one, the file is downloaded using ASP
(ie. required headers are written to the Response object, followed by the file contents - so that the browser initiates the file download process rather than trying to parse/display the file), the sql table is updated to mark the file for deletion (the actual file is deleted by a separate process running on the server), and the list presented to the user is updated. Code:

I am getting the "The items on this page contain both secure and insecure items." message on a couple of classic ASP pages being hosted on a secure server. And when my users select Yes or No, they get an "Action Cancelled" page in IE.
I have combed through the code, and can't find any reference to a remote page being loaded or any reference to one of the two frames not loading properly. Anyone have any suggestions?

I am about to begin a web site for a client who wishes the site be in English, German, and Italian. What I am planning on doing is setting up a script in the global asa file that will detect if the users language is set to either it or de and if so, set a session variable to Italian or German, if not, set the session variable to English. In the actual pages themselves, I will use a select or if statement on each section that will have content. The statement's criteria will be the session language variable. I know if I was doing this site for someone who wanted it in 20 languages this may not be practical, but for 3 languages I think I can pull it off. So what's my question you ask? Is my approach sound and practical? If so, can someone show me the snippet of code that would go in my asa file to set the session variable. OH, and also equally important, when this site is spidered by search engines, will Google.com and Google.it and Google.de pick up their respective pages? The spiders have language settings, no? Don't they request pages from a (my) server just like any other request?

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. How can I do in order to prevent everyone from downloading without a user account?

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?

how do i create a file download utility that limits the number of users? for example, a maximum of 5 users can download a particular file at the same time.
i can use asp (not asp.net), javascript, maybe read/write a text file if necessary.

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!

I am using enctype of multipart/form-data to transfer
files. However, in the target page (action), I can only
retrieve the file. ie. If I call Request.BinaryRead, then
Request doesnt process Form or QueryString anymore. If I
access Form/ QueryString, BinaryRead doesnt work anymore.
Is this by design? If so, how can I pass parameter to the
target page, alongwith file?

I have coded a file upload process in ASP and the current way I allow files to be downloaded, which have been uploaded is by using the <a href> tag. This works but it normally opens the files for the user in a new browser window. What I would like to do is present the user with a download link which opens the Windows File Download dialog box.
I thought there might be an easy way to do this kind of like HTML provides for uploading a file… which is the input type=file (presents the user with the browse button). Is there an easy way to present the user with a Windows File Download dialog box?

I am trying to use asp to download a file located on a different server. I can use ADODB.Stream, LoadFromFile(ServerSomething) and the Response.BinaryWrite successfully, but only if I create an IUSR_XXXX account on the other machine.
What other alternatives do I have, or is this the best method? Could I use a com object that ran as a valid user on the other server to copy the file back to the IIS server?

I am getting one error while downloading a file (DBF file) through aps page. the error is: "Can not access file because the file is being used by another process". First My asp page creates a DBF file programmatically using OLEDB provider and saves that file at a particular location. In the same asp page I have given link to download the file on client machine.
above operation will be performed based on the flag set in my code. if flag is 'Save' it will create the DBF if flag is 'Download' it will download the DBF. I am using ASPSmartUpload component to download the file. and i am calling DownloadFile method of this component. But it is giving me error as mentioned above. I have closed the recordset and connection object and set it to Nothing. but still it is giving this error. This works fine for the first time and after that it gives this error.
please tell me what could be the reason for this and how i can handle this programmatically. is there a way to find out whether the file is in use or not and if yes then how to stop that process?
