How Do I Use ASP To Download A File That Has Particular Ntfs Permissions
I'm trying to write a script that will allow validated users to
download a file that has specific ntfs permissions. Here's a summary:
Scenario:
1) The name of the file is "binary.zip".
2) I've created a local account on the server called "dl_user".
3) dl_user is the only account that has permissions on binary.zip.
4) I've written a script that validates several people to access a web
page that has a link to binary.zip. However whenever they click it,
they get prompted for a username and pw. If they enter the "dl_user"
credentials, it works.
Problem:
I don't want these people to be prompted for the username and pw.
Instead, I'd like IIS, through some ASP mechanism, to pass the dl_user
credentials in the background so that the users are completely unaware
of the account that has NTFS permissions to the file. Is there any way
to do this?
I have been successfully running ASP on a W2K IIS5.0 server using Anon Access enabled, but would like to be able to restrict access to a particular folder containing some ASP content to a particular NTFS user group that I have set up.
I have added this group to the particular folder (giving Full Control) and switched off anon access and added Intergrated Windows authentication in IIS Admin. The problem is that although users can access static content in this folder, any attempt to run an ASP fails with a logon box appearing and "Error: access denied" apearing in the page.
Is the problem that this user group does not have permissions on the system files used to execute the ASPs? Everything works fine under my admin account or if I make it all Anonymous access.
I used it to change my computer setting exactly as it says. after that myapplication is giving wrong results. If i set up the application on other computers it is working fine which means that all problems are due to the settings that I changed. However I do not know how to undo the changes that I made.
I am developing a small website using ASP scripts to format data retrieved from an Access database. It will run on a Windows 2003 server supporting FrontPage extensions 2002 hosted by the company 1&1 with only limited server configuration via a web based control panel.
My query relates to the ASP security model and how it relates to FrontPage options for setting file access on a database file. If you know of any online documentation covering the following issues I would be grateful for links to it.
For various reasons (session logging, synchronising data with a master database etc) I need to be able to write data to the database file. Essentially the problem is this: how do I make this possible without giving public access to the database file? Code:
Is it possiable via a ASP to set (NTFS) permissions on files not on the IIS server?I'm sticking together an ASP to create our new user Home/Profile dir file structure. The script is running in anonymous user mode using an account which has full perm on the file severers.
It's creating the file structure OK, but when it comes to the file permissions, CALCS direct or CACLS in a .CMD doesn't appear to be able to set ther permissions when invoked from the ASP. It does however work for the user when logged on the server's local console.
I am trying to use this bit of code to change the permissions on a file. Apparently it should work but it isn't. I am getting no error messages just nothing is happening. The path to the file is definitley correct. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? Code: <% strFileOrFolder = "D:WebRoothtdocsProjects est.txt" strUserName = "Everyone"
I am methodically working my way through the Sitepoint 'Build your own ASP.NET website' and have been successful in every lesson up to page 279. However I've come stuck when trying to add information to an Access Database. When I try to do so I get the message:
Operation must use an updateable query. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Operation must use an updateable query.
I have tried the solution described in the book but still get the message. I am using IIS and XP Professional. The database works for queries so how do I get it to accept information entries?
How can I check NTFS permission and how to give the IUSR account sufficient privileges to update the databasewhich is in MSACCESS.It's always give error operation must use updatable query.
how to query a windows 2000 server to find out disk quota information for a given user, i.e.: is quotaing enabled, what's the (given users) limit and how much is used so far? the server the script will run on and the server that I want to query are memebers of the same domain.
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.

I want the MP3 audio files to be able to download by users only.

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

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 need to make it so that I can download a .WMV video file. because giving users the direct link doesn't work and I think its alot better than asking them to right click and save item as..
I am trying to write a routine that allows users to download files from our secure site, with the code below the file will download and when you click save i get an IE error. However when the page is not https the routine runs just fine. Any Ideas?
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 a code that creates a text file and puts it into a folder on the server. i would like after the script is finished creating the text file to prompt the user to download the newly created text file, when he clicks yes a window should appear asking where he would like to save it.
