How Do I Install A MSI File From Webserver On The Client Machine.
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 ?
I am working on a web application where i allow users to download text file , the content for this file will be retreived from the database and is passed to the ADODB.stream and is read into Response.binarywrite
I am using the following code which i have got from a forum Code:
I know this is actually impossible, but didn't know how else to describe it: I have created a Content Management System for a client using ASP connecting to a Access database. It doesn't do any fancy things: INSERT, UPDATE, etc. I also use ASPUpload to upload images onto the server.
When I test my CMS from my own machine and others, it all works fine. However, testing it from my client's machine, the Updating or Inserting of data ends up returning a 'page not available' error (the asp page calls itself when the form is submitted) and the changes to the database are not being executed.
I really can't figure out why this is happening. Could it be a setting on the client's browser?
The jist of what i want is the obj.FileExists (how it checks for a file on the server) for the client machine.
The client will be scanning something that will put a pdf file into a shared folder on their machine (it will be the same path for all clients). I need to get the code* to pull that file so that i can take the data on the pdf.
*Code doesn't have to be ASP. i'm up for ASP, VBScript, Javascript.
I am using windows 2000 server with IIS already install. I have copied test.asp file to wwwroot directory and tried to run it but it did not work ..and i gave me this error msg.
http://localhost/test.asp or http://127.0.0.1/test.asp or http://my_server_name_here/test.asp
The page cannot be displayed There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be displayed. HTTP 500 - Internal server error Internet Explorer
I have even tried to run the iisstart.asp and localstart.asp which already exist at wwroot directory when IIS is installed.However, it still could not work.
Does anyone know why ? I how do i know that the webserver and ASP engine is working properly.
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:
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 ?
Having finally mastered freeASPUpload, I really want the files being uploaded to the web server to automatically be forwarded to my local inhouse server. I'm sure there has to be a way.
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.
im trying to create a intranet site which copies files to the server. im guessing i should use filesystemobject to achieve this but im not sure on how to accompish this.
I have a need to transfer a graphic file to a user's system and then access that file. I must have the drive letter:path location of the file. If at all possible I'd prefer that this not require user input. (Note that since this is my app and in a corporate network, I have the server in the Trusted Sites zone and every single action is marked "Enabled" in the IE security settings and users will be using IE exclusively.)
It doesn't matter to me how the file gets to the client, save that it get there from IE, and the file is initially retrieved via a url I give the client. I have even looked into reading the file out of the IE temporary files but have had no luck.
we have some exist file at server site.we wants to open it from any client by simple browse or click on file. is tre any tool to do this or any script.
How can i save the textarea(retrieved from DB) data to client system as a textfile. I am using filesystemobject to create a text file with the path
set fso=server.createObject("scripting.filesystemobject") set ctext=fso.createtextfile("c:mydata.txt",true) ctext.close set ctext=nothing set fso=nothing
But it is storing in the server cwebserver c: drive) My users will access simultaneously in my LAN. They use these textfiles to print in DOS mode. Coz it contains large and formated data and to print faster. How can i store the generated output to the client system only instead of server. B'coz the data generated is diff for each user.

What I'm trying to do here is have the user select a file of thier local machine (dont know what format to make the file yet, examining this problem b4 development) From that file, certain fields on the page will be populated automatically. The file they will select will have been saved from a visit to a different site I created so no worries about formatting.
But I can't seem to figure out how to do this without actually uploading the file.
To repeat, I just want to examine the file and be done with it. If I can't do this without uploading, then could someone explain how I do that because I've been having trouble finding a source that doesnt want me to buy thier .dll. I find it hard to believe that IE would implement input type=file and IIS would not have it's own method of getting that file.
We have offer a web space to hosting our client website. We offer them to upload asp files to their web space. How can I prevent the client from uploading asp files that will harm our web server.
For example, deleting files in our server using Scripting.FileSystemObject to delete our systemmfiles.
How can I check if a file exists on the client? I have a form which requires the user to upload a document from their computer. In the event they don't enter a valid path to the file the form does not submit. How can I check if the file exists and if it doesn't, provide a suitable response?
