Unable To Download Files From Server
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?

I 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.

I recently built an application using an Access database. The application works fine, but for some reason I am unable to FTP the database file back to my machine from the server... the operation simply times out halfway into the transfer.
Has anyone ever encountered this issue? I don't know if maybe some renegade connection wasn't closed, but I kinda doubt that's the case.
Is there even a way I can check what connections to the DB are open?

IIS cannot read files in a directory reporting that :
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01B6)
Object doesn't support this property or method: 'Fso.GetFolder'
This has to do with Scripting.FileSystemObject.
I make sure the scrrun.dll is properly registered with regsvr32.
Still the problem persists.
Previously I do not know what I did right once in permission setting and
managed to display the said files but it went away after tweaking the
permission for make other functions available.
I scoured the web and this problem is a perrenial one. Many many suggestions
have been made even in expertsexchange site but no real solution. I don't
understand why it is so difficult to have this file system service up and
running.

The main reson is that i dont know the code to connect to this LCS and what namespace shld i use so that i can access all the functionality of my LCS 2005.
The coding is to be done in c#. I could have used the MS OFFICE Communicator direcltly but i have to use my oen UI and thus i need to connect to this LCS...

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 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" )
%>

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.

We 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 am making an ASP page which has to parse some HTML, connect to another web server, and download and store the images locally so that they can be served without hitting the other server.
Does anybody know how to do this? I cannot find any component that will let me download files from another server in ASP. I can parse the HTML and get the image paths, so the problem is limited to connecting to that server and retrieving the images to the local server.

I am trying to use asp to download a file located on a different server. I can use ADODB.Stream, LoadFromFile(ServerSomething) and the Response.BinaryWrite successfully, but only if I create an IUSR_XXXX account on the other machine.
What other alternatives do I have, or is this the best method? Could I use a com object that ran as a valid user on the other server to copy the file back to the IIS server?
