This works with most every file type I've run across (jpg, gif, doc, ppt, xls, etc..). Normally when the user tries to access a file, a download window pops up asking the user whether he/she wants to open or save the file.
However, when the file is a zip file, the user just receives a blank screen instead of the usual download window. Has any one run into this problem? If yes, how did you resolve it?
There any way to download files I'm keeping stored above the www folder for security
I'm thinking of the following : My script determines what file the user requests, checks their credentials, and then "forwards" the file from the non public directory to the user.
I have a download function that allows a site visitor to download a file. It works when the page that calls the function, the function, and the file to download are all in the same folder. I want to be able to have the page that calls in one folder, the function in another folder and the file in a third. Any advice? Code that is working when all three are together:
Function doDownload (fileName) dim myAttachment myAttachment = "attachment; filename=" & fileName Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", myAttachment Response.ContentType = "application" response.BinaryWrite fileName
I have an asp script on a server. However whenever I link to the script, instead of running it, the browser displays a message saying. "You are downloading the file "filename" from "server name" Would you like to open this file or save it to your computer ?
I want to create a asp page where i can give the user an option of downloading a file or opening a file e.g an excel file.
How do i do this?? Ive already created an asp page which has a button- where the user can click on the button. The excel option of either opening the file or downloading it comes up- but i want this option actually on a asp page. How do I go about this?
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?
i am having prob while downloading a file in firefox. If the filename contains spaces it takes only name before the first space. The rest of the part in the filename is egnored....
i use the following code for it. -- Response.Addheader "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & filename ---- example if the filename is "sample filename.doc". while downloading it saves as "sample" the rest of the part filename.doc is removed.
The above code works fine in IE. Can anyone here tell me how i can handle this in firefox v1.
I am currently working on an ASP based site which displays largely numerical data, which is stored in an access database. I have been asked to create an 'export' page, which, when working properly will allow a user of the site to export the table he or she is looking at and export it to a .CSV file which they can save onto their own machine.
My problem lies here, I can create the .CSV file on the server, BUT permissions on our host are such that the file can only be saved to the 'databases' folder and not on the webroot.
Is there any way in which I can either setup a way for the user to download from the databases folder? or rather than creating the file on the server, directly write the file to the user's machine?
I have an exe file on a server that reads an XML file ( as a parameter) and generates a new file for downloading. However, most servers won't allow an exe file to create the new binary file. Is there any way that I can execute the exe file and have it download straight to the client instead of saving to the server?
When I run an asp script, I can view the contents on the screen in pdf format. But instead of displaying the information to the screen, I want to be able to save the same information into a binary file with a pdf extension. Does anybody know how to do that?
I have listed the coded that writes it to the screen, but now want to be able to write the information into a file ....
I'm using ASP to generate an RTF (rich text) file, via the FSO. No problems with text, but when it comes to inserting images, the files have to be embedded as either binary or hex.
Try as I might, I can't get binary to work (Word b0rks trying to open the resulting file). When I create a simple RTF in Wordpad and then view its source, Wordpad seems to be embedding the image as hex. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I could read an image file off the disk in hex format for writing into my RTF?
I need to extract some blobs (chm files, actually) from a database and save their contents on the server (recreate chm files).
I tried to do it in several ways (writing the contents to a stream and save the stream to file, writing the contents directly to file, I couldn't figure out how to do it by using the class ADODB.File) but none of them worked.
I need to provide a way to download a software and its corresponding manual from a web page.
So far I have done the sign in page where people give their data. I will then give access to a page with a link allowing to download the required file(s).
My worry is how to avoid that somebody grabs the URL of the file and send it to another for downloading directly from the server. What can I do to avoid this ?
I have set of mp3 files as a list (DownloadFiles.asp). The user can click on any of the mp3 files to download(Download_Porcess.asp).After downloading the file the user has to redirect to the DownloadFiles.asp.
In Download_Process.asp to force the save dialog box. This works fine. This allows the user to download the file. After downloading this mp3 file, this file should not be displayed in the list ie in (DownloadFiles.asp).
How can i do this?
I am not able to redirect from Download_Process.asp to DownloadFiles.asp, b'coz I used response.binarywrite.
i have an ASP (iis v5.0) application that generates a pdf file and this file is saved to the server. it is saved in a location not available to web users. i have an asp script (below) that sends the pdf file to the user as a binary stream. So that the user specifies which file to upload, the script performs some security checking and if it passes, it sends the pdf document.
This works great in HTTP, but i want to do this using SSL. When i try the same thing over SSL, it gives me a 'File Download' dialog box with Open, Save, Cancel, More Info. The file name is the name of my script and file type is 'Adobe Acrobat Control for ActiveX'.
When i click Save or Open i get an error message: Internet Explorer cannot download [scriptname] IE was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.
The key to all this is that the report can change and i need to make sure the data doesn't get cached along the way. Hence there are a bunch of header manipulation commands included in the send function. Code:
I have one EXE file that customer need to download from my website. But I have one text file of Max 250 bytes of text in in that I want to append to the END of the Binary EXE file and give that for download to user. How can I do that. Please suggest. I think we need to go for some BinaryWrite kind of procedure using ADO Stream.
I've been trying to send a (large) file to the browser via a download page that uses a file download component. The file downloads fine, except that Internet Explorer refuses to browse to a different page while the file is downloading! I don't understand why it does that and I don't know how to fix this problem.
I'm trying to setup an ASP page to POST an image across to another page- essentially simulating what a browser does when you use <input type=file> in a HTML form.
I'm able to correctly setup the headers etc and do the POST, but I'm unable to include the binary data of the image.
The only way i've been able to do it is if I base64 encode the image. I'm using MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP to do the POST, and I can't seem to do the .send with a form body that includes the binary data of the image. Code:
i am having a problem in how to create a Open File dialog to enable user to select a image file that will be stored into database. i just want the file path to be stored in database, not the image.
It works if the file in on the server side, how to use the component (DSOleFile) with the file on the client side? Also how can I calculate the width of the file. (Page set up - Landscape or porrait). Code:
I need to do online streaming multimedia file on my web portal, just like those online portal that selling MP3. User need to click on the preview link to stream the audio file to listen before they decide to buy the file or not. How do i link my audio file in my web server to allow it to be stream? Totally lost on this function,
This question has to do with MS file search but it is happening only with ..asp pages, so I though someone programming with .asp pages has experienced the same situation.
I'm trying to find .asp pages with a certain table name (i.e. "renewalInfo" )
When I ran the search I get no results. I know that I have that string in a couple of pages. My file system search engine is working fine with other file types, like Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, etc.
I tried typing the string outside the <% %> tags and when I do the search I get the file results, so it seems like if the search engine in my file system was not searching inside the <%%> tags. Code:
I'm having a problem with the fact that I want to allow image files to be uploaded to a remote web server, as the hosting package the web site is on is IIS6 and has a default file upload size limit of 200kb. As it's a shared hosting package, the default limit cannot be changed for me unfortunately.
Anyway - i need to check the size of the file being uploaded, so i can notify the user and prevent them getting the default Microsoft error message page. The problem is that I can't implement a server side size check which works, using either Request.TotalBytes or load.getFileSize (with "load" being an object of my loader class). It seems that I can't carry out any of these operations when the file size is too large.
I'm trying to run the server.execute command inside a executed file. It doesn't work. Can anybody tell me why? I've searched all around and haven't found a reason. Could it be because it's not supose to work, or is the syntax diferent then in the first file? It's something like this:
I am using the File System Object to create server side cookies and part of the Function that I am writing deletes a file but I am getting a permissions denied error on that line of code.
I am using Integrated security only on this site but how do I get the IUSER_Machinename account to work with Integrated Security?
I have an asp page written entirely in jscript with a vbscript used as an include file which one variable on the page must access.
When the page runs, I run into jscript complilation errors when it tries to access the include file (since it is written in vbscript), and I can't figure out how to get the two to work together. How do you get both scripting languages to work on the same page?
