How To Secure File Downloading
I have been lately dealing with developing an ASP based web application which uploads documents to a folder. Application itself is password protected by the session.
I am now looking for securing the documents that are uploaded.
For example;
Let's say AAA.doc is uploaded to "/docs" folder by this password-protected application. But, I can't prevent the following link to download this Word document:
(URL address blocked: See forum rules)
How can I prevent the above link to download AAA.doc? Is it something possible to restrict it with a session variable? I also want the user who are authenticated at the beginning to view or download the file, but unauthenticated users shouldn't view it.
I found some articles but they are speaking about IIS level things. Folders may be created dynamically. Is it possible to have this security feature at application level?

Downloading Files...
The help is not very informative here, but it says, that it is possible to
download files, by using the 'a' tag. What I am trying to do, is create a
link, that the user clicks, which will download a file from the server. This
works fine for most files, but for things like TXT and HTM, they open in the
browser window. I want the 'Save As' dialog box to appear, instead.
If I use;
Response.Write "<a href='http://mydomain/myfile.txt'>myfile</a>"
I get the contents of myfile.txt displayed in the browser window. If I use;
Response.Write "<a href='http://mydomain/myfile.mdb'>myfile</a>"
I get the 'save file as' dialog box appear. How do I force the 'save file
as' dialog box to appear for ALL files
I tried using the 'FileSystemObject' and using the 'Copy' method of GetFile.
But this does not allow you to have a 'user defined' path to save the file
(which is pretty obvious, as this is the server side)... Is there another
function that I can use, or is there a property setting of the anchor tag,
that I need to set

Downloading Files / Asp-error With ZIPs Only
I have the following problem:
working on a "downlad-module" within a larger website, i tried several methods for downloading-files to the user.
mabye some basic infos first:
the website runs on win server 2003, using sql server 2000-database; pages are written in classic asp. The idea behind is, that all possible download-files (flyers, brochures, some it-stuff.. means pdf, docs, exe, zip-files.. "standard-mixed-stuff, i would say) are of course stored outside the website-root and are uploaded using a cms.
for each file, the information is stored in a database (not the file itself). beside path and filename, also content-type, descriptiton, user-restrictions etc.
within the page, the user will than receive a list of possible download files.
by clicking on the link, i redirect to a "download.asp"-page, where i just want to start the download by sending the file to the user. so far - so bad :-)
i tried 2 free components (TabsUpload; aspSmartUpload)and also a simple response.BinaryWrite and here´s the problem: everything works fine, as long as i am messing round with other file formats than ZIP (!). I can use the system for downloading pdfs, exe, docs... but when i want to dl a zip-file, the system "hangs up" (only the browser wants to connect endlessly.. its not a crash, because i can stop it by using ESC-key)
one interesting thing:
when i use the the BinaryWrite-method, a file is downloaded - but of course not the zip file - it is a html-page with the wrong content-type ;-) using a text/hex-editor, you can find this error message: Response Buffer Limit Exceeded
possible solution for this would normaly be, to turn Response.Buffer = False
but, for using either binaryWrite or one of the components, Response.Buffer should be set to True, as far as i know...
so anyway, here is the source-code: ...
XP SP2 And Downloading Files Automatically Closes Window
We have numerous pages that allow users to download textfiles. To invoke the File Download Dialog, we use ASP, FSO and ADODB Stream. It worked fine in SP1. In SP2, however, once downloading is done, the window that opened the File Download Dialog automatically closes. Any idea what's causing this? Where can I find information on SP2 in relation to FSO and ADODB Stream?

i currently have an asp authorization system setup on my website for access to certain html pages. this works great, but i need to restrict access to some pdf files as well. as of right now if the user is authenicated they have access to links to certain the pdf.

File Protection :: Secure Files On My Server
I need to be able to secure files on my web server. I am using asp to secure access to links and pages, for example:
<%If Session("manager")=FALSE Then%>
You are not authorized to view this page
<%Else%>
<<<Page Code>>>
<%End If%>
The place I'm running into problems is with files. I have a lot of charts and such in PDF version. I kind of doubt there is a way to secure these files with asp, but I thought it would be worth a try.
My biggest issue is that PDFs are stored in the browser's history, so once the page has been accessed, anyone using the browser can get to thatunsecured PDF. As a brute force fix, is there some way to simply erase the site from the browser history? If not, is there a way to secure the PDF, or does someone know of a better group to post on?

View Replies View RelatedDownloading PWS
I have a problem and it's pretty basic. I need to install PWS on a Windows NT Workstation 4.0 PC in college but cannot find a download just for PWS. I've done a search of the web and microsoft's download site and still no luck.
Installing IIS is not an option as Im technically not allowed to install anything and I'd rather it be PWS than a bigger and more noticeable IIS. I've heard that it comes on the Windows 98 disk but unfortuneatly I do not access to one.
Does anyone know of a link to download PWS? I've heard that it comes with an NT Option Pack aswell but can I just install PWS from this or will it change other settings?

Downloading To Client From ASP
I am developing an app that has a reporting function
which displays the non-PDF reports. One of the users
wishes to have the reports saved to his machine as PDFs.
The app can convert the reports, and save to the server
with no problem (uses a component for this). The problem
is, figuring out how to save the reports to the client.
The ideal approach would be to have the app save the
reports to his desktop, like some of those stupid casino
sites save their shortcut links.
However, I would settle for just just being able to force
the "download" dialog to display, instead of opening
Acrobat when the app attempts to send the report to the
client.

View Replies View RelatedKnow When Image Finishes Downloading
I'm developing a system for a person person to only be download the image once, but I have to allow for lose of connection for what ever reason. I've got the basic system working using SMS wap push.
I don't really want to give them a time window to download the item in as that leaves the possibility of them sharing with their friends, or not getting to download the image if the window expires.
What I want to do is use a querystring in the link to make the reference unique and flag in the DB when they've downloaded. Trouble is I can't figure out how to know when they've downloaded the image.
My train of thought has gone to getting some way to monitor how much of the image has been downloaded. Any one know how to do this? Or better yet anyone have any altrnative suggestions?

Downloading Large Static
I am using forms authentication to protect all content as described in the
kb article below.

This works fine except for files that are larger than about 40 or 50mb at
which point the user gets a 404 error and the httperr log indicates
connection_dropped status.
This is a w2k3 server with SP1 and all security patches installed.
Has anyone seen this before? I have been reading various posts online but
none seem to fit this symptom. Also have tried tuning various meta-base
properties to no avail.
