Problem Displaying Page Before Initiating File Download
I'm looking to display a page and then initiate the downloading of a file.
Basically trying to display a page that says the download will begin
shortly, and if it doesn't, click here. Like what you see at a number
sites.
I found code to initiate the download in a previous posting ("Force Download
fails when I select "Open" but works when I select "Save"", posted Jan 25,
2005). The code works fine in terms of initiating the download. The
problem I've encountered is that the download begins before the page itself
is displayed.
I want to write a ASP page to open/download a file In fileview.jsp, I have the file browse, and when user click submit button, fileview2.asp should open the file.
The ASP application uses the "File" active-x control. On windows 2003 IIS(6.0), the download the file fails with the Error: Request object error 'ASP 0104 : 80004005'
The above error is retuned by my asp code: lnBytes = Request.BinaryRead(lnByteCount)
I did not see this error on windows 2000 server. Is there any solution/workaround available on Windows 2003 IIS(6.0) for this issue.
I am having trouble downloading an excel report generated from our AS pages. We presumed it was something to do with the SSL certificate w just installed, so loaded the ForceSSL.inc script from Microsoft an changed the cache settings by changing this code in our globals.as file:
I have an .asp page to relay data to an MS SQL DB. The page runs fine on some machines but attempts to auto download itself with a "file download security warning" dialog.
Some of the machines are configured identically but problem occurs on one and not the other. IE settings on two machines are identical and it happens on one but not the other.
i m having a problem with an asp page attempting to download rather than run its contents. The page is designed to relay data to a secondery server and populate a MS SQL database. I have run the site with this page on a number of machines and it works on some but attempts to download the file on others; bringing up "file download security warning" dialog.
Additional weirdness comes from the fact that I can have two identically configured machines and yet one will work fine and the other will attempt to download the asp file. When I say identical i mean all the IE security settings are exactly the same.
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.
can't use filesystemobject to create txt file on my C: drive. gives me access denied error.
I used same object to create file in the directory on the web server but how can I download txt file using something like a simple hyperlink to the exe file. a hyperlink to a text file simply opens that file in a browser.
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?
I have used the "Microsoft.XMLHTTP" object to successfully download web pages from other sites.
However, I need to download a page from a secure page. Can anyone point me to sample code for that? I need to "post" data to a form on that page, so any sample code for that would also be helpful.

I developed a login page and use Access as the database. When I test it using http://localhost, it works perfectly. When I upload it to the web server and click on the link, a file download box pops up asking me if I want to save or open the login.asp file. Why doesn't it work now?
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
I have a script in ASP 3.0 which creates a CSV file on the server. After the code has run I want it to prompt the user to download the file (via the browser). I have spent a frustrating hour trying this.
I want to get dialog box(open,save,cancel) for pdf file using asp(vbscript). Presently when i click on pdf link on the site,the pdf document opens in the browser.
I have used the below code(download.asp?file=filename):
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.
i am able to do file download using the response object, where a dialog box will appear, asking user whether they want to open,save or cancel.
it is possible to download multiple files at once. since it is stated that 1 file download per http request. i am lookinn at http://www.motobit.com/tips/detpg_m...es-one-request/
where it show multiple file per http request. i don't quite understand it though.
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?
Does anyone know of anything that will allow uploads to a server then show the URL of the file so the user can send and email to someone so it can be downloaded? I looked at huge asp upload and couldnt tell if it would show the url to the user. It has an email option but i cannot see if it does what i want it to do and i dont see anywhere on the site to find out.
