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.

"Cannot Download" An Excel File From An ASP Page

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:

Response.AddHeader "pragma","cache"
Response.AddHeader "cache-control","private"
Response.CacheControl = "private"

Now we are having trouble with downloading about ten of the twent
five reports that we have. Does anyone have any ideas?

Page Trying To Download

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.

Asp Page Download

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.

File Download Box

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?

Download File

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.

Download Secure Web Page

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.

Prevent File Download

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.

File Download Stream

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?

Automatic File Download

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!

File Download Dialog Box

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?
