I'm trying to create an ASP page which, when it loads runs the ASP code
first then prompts the user to download a text file. I know the answer
might be obvious to some of you, but I've sone several searches online
and I'm not getting anything.
1) Run code in ASP page.
2) Prompt user for download of external txt file after code is finished
running.

View Replies View RelatedI would like to know something about placing a password for a database in an external file, something like a global.asa file or a included file. I'm using an access database and ASP. how do I make this file and how do I attach it to my website. I thought this might be useful for extra database security, is this true?
The database is located in a folder that is protected by the hosting provider and you can only download the database using a login name and password and you can change data trough webpages (update, delete and insert).This has all about database security, I want to make my database as secure as possible, I'm already using SSL certificates.

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?

View Replies View RelatedCurrently 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.

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?

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 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.
