I want to make a support-page where people can download the latest help-files (these will be in a database) but I don't know how to do this (I only know the basics of ASP).
I don't mean that, for example a pdf, should open in another window. When you click on the filename it should give the standard downoad-box 'Open', 'Save', 'Cancel'.
Does anyone know how to do this? Or maybe there is some code on the net that explains it.
I have to do something like this that a user see list of record if he would find record and want to download that list then a button should be available on page so that he could download that list in a pdf file of that record.
View Replies View Relatedcan anybody tell me how i can download all the pdf files from a web site, given the web site link as input?
I want to write a script for taking the web site link as input and on submit, get all the pdf files in that site.
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?
View Replies View RelatedI am creating a series of downloadable articles, career
tools, spreadsheets, etc. However, some of the content is
for "registered" guest. The registrants are stored in a
database and logon.
I want to ensure that someone registered cannot simply
pass someone the path to the files for download. However,
I am not creating an actual system user name for the
folders where the various documents exist.
I don't want someone to logon, retrieve the path to a
file, and be able to send that path or return to that path
without having to logon.
How do I accomplish this?
Consider the following:
serverroot/registeredcontentfolders would be protected by
a single logon name - not accessible via anonymous
access. User's logon to site and I auth them with their
user name but on the server side, auth with the single
account I am establishing for access to the protected
folders.
I have excel, word, zip, jpeg etc. files in my database.
I can view them by asp from web page but I have problems:
When I Request a file from database:
1. I click on the file it brings me the message if I want to open or download the file.
Content-type works but file name cannot be recognized.
It gives always the same name for the file.
Example: I click cv.doc file, in popup message "download or open" File Name part is always file.asp
It should show cv.doc at file name section. What is the code for it ? Below what I use but missing I guess.
This is how I request the file..
<%
rs.Open "Select * From Files Where Id=" Request.QueryString("Id" ) , connStr, 1, 3
Request.ContentType = rs("FileType" )
Request.BinaryWrite rs("FileBinary" )
%>

View Replies View RelatedI am unable to download zip files from IE browser. Everytime I click on the download button, instead of prompting me to save the file, Internet Explorer opens the zip folder instead.
I think this is because I have previously instructed IE to open zip files without prompting (there was a check box to do this). Is there any way I can revert to the original settings?
I have tried resetting my Web settings, as well as setting the Security level in the Internet Options, but to no avail. I am totally unable to download zip files using IE now.
How to set the default value so that IE prompts me to download the files than opening it in some location.
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.
The following ASP routine allows me to force a PDF file to download rather
than show up in IE:
Response.ContentType = "application/asp-unknown" ' arbitrary
Response.AddHeader "content-disposition","attachment; filename=" & theFile
Set adoStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
adoStream.Open()
adoStream.Type = 1
adoStream.LoadFromFile(thePath)
Response.BinaryWrite adoStream.Read()
adoStream.Close
Set adoStream = Nothing
Response.End
This works fine for 250KB - 500KB PDF files, but I've just uploaded a 6MB file and it simply doesn't seem to do anything. The code does nothing which in turn means that the standard Save dialogue box can't find the file.
How can I make files which ie can open them, download without openning. I mean by means of which code Some files JPG MP3 etc can be downloaded.

I'm having trouble with my first IIS6.0 on Windows Server 2003.
The web site works fine: all ASP pages are processed and displayed normally. The problem is we are not able to download any files from the site (pdf, zip, doc, ...) When you click on a link pointing to one of these files (or if you write the file's absolute URL in the address bar of IE) you get the normal Open or Save as dialog. Whichever option you choose, the next window is an error message stating that the file cannot be downloaded. The strange part is that everything else is working fine, it is file download what fails, exclusively.
Is this something that needs to be enabled in IIS6.0? Do you know anything about this issue?

View Replies View RelatedWe have a WEB-based application (developed in Visual Studio 2005) running on
handheld devices in Internet Explorer on Windows Mobile 2003. The application
needs to print tickets on a Bluetooth printer, which is accomplished by
preparing a RTF-file on the server and then downloading this file to the
handheld device. We use a third-party application (PrintPocketCE from
FieldSoftware) for the actual printing of the downloaded file. However, when
the file is about to be downloaded we first get a question saying "Download
<filename> to the My Documents folder in Main Memory?" with Yes, Change and
Cancel buttons.
Is there a way to avoid this question and download the file
directly? We need the checkbox "Open file after download" to be checked (as
it is by default when the question is displayed) to get the file processed by
PrintPocketCE after download.
To avoid adding file by file to the handheld device we always use the same
filename for the downloaded file. This leads to another question on each
download, asking whether to overwrite the previously downloaded file. Since
the file has no interest after being printed this question is always answered
with Yes. Is there a way to avoid this question too, for example by setting
some Registry value?
I have a website that we display images we have saved into a SQL Server 2000 database as binary BLOB. This is on a Windows 2003 Server. Just recently (a week ago) this website began to save the images it is displaying on the website as ASP pages in the Temporary Internet Files > IE.Content > Folder.
We have other websites where we use the exact same code and these do not save files on the server when they are displayed.
Here is the code to display the image:
Set rs = objConn.Execute( SQL )
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
Response.BinaryWrite rs("Product_Image")
SQL is the SQL String to get the image from database
When I add this code:
Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg"
The images still display on the website, but now are saved in the Temporary Internet Files folder as JPG's.
Can a php file be executed inside an asp file? I need to execute a php file in another asp file but i'm not so sure it's possible.

I have installed PWS in windows 98 in each of the system at various places and put my Sales program files in the WWWROOT directory in all the branches. I'm afraid that the users may tamper my ASP files. Is there any way of converting .ASP files to .exe files so that the dont see my program.
View Replies View RelatedI was wondering how some sites let you search by using a form, then present the results as static .htm files.
The reason I ask is that I tend to use ASP to process form information, then give the user a list of results presented on an .asp page. The list is simply drawn from a database in real-time and formatted into a template page.
The problem with this is that search engines can't see any of the information in the database, since they can't do the form submission. Is there a way around this?
I am trying to download files from one website to another for purposes
of caching. In trying to do this, I created a VB dll component (using
VB6), that used URLDownloadToFile, to allow me to download the file
onto the receiving site. The sending site supports an ASP page that
allows the file to be downloaded.The component works fine when run in debugging mode, placing the file as expected. But when not debugging (but registered), it reports that
the file has been downloaded, but the file is not there.
