We have a page which we want to allow our users to download files. Can someone point to peice of code that we can use to force the download as opposed to opening the files in the browser.
Only one issue here the code need to work with UNC path like myserverfiles and not just c:inetpubwwwrootfiles. I did have a look on internet but all of the code seems to be using localpath names but none with UNC path name.

View Replies View RelatedI have an asp application in which, a page generates reports depending upon the id passed to it. For eg. printpage.asp?id=52 . Now I have a Print button on this page on clicking of which the contents of the page should be read and passed to the activex dll which I have prepared for printing the page.( I had to do this because the printer is installed on the server where the application resides and it should print on the server printer).
Now my question is how to read the asp file (say printpage.asp?id=52) contents in such a way that the fonts and formatting should remain the same, as that content will be printed on the server printer using Active X dll.

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?
I need to have script that automatic download files (open a "save file
dialog box") based on a variable (value in the URL).
Example:
files.asp?file=1 shall automaticly download file1.mp3 (open a dialogbox for
saving file1.mp3)
files.asp?file=2 shall automaticly download file2.mp3 (open a dialogbox for
saving file2.mp3)

View Replies View RelatedI need to be able to read a tab delimited text file with an asp page so that I can stuff the fields into a sql table.I really don't know how you can do that, I checked the books I have and have been running around the internet trying to find the answer when I found this site.I cannot use a bulk insert statement because I don't have that level of access to the sql server. and I was assured that "BCP is indeed a command-line only utility and cannot be launched from ASP. You could parse the text file with ASP and generate INSERT statements that you then execute against the database. Routines for parsing tab-delimited files can be had by searching for them on google quite easily." by the system administrator

View Replies View RelatedI'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?

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.

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.

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

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!
