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?
I am creating an asp application which is essentially a file management app. I am trying to get my head around a technically issue wonder if someone can offer some help.

Is there a way I can force a Save As dialog? I have a page with a bunch of files listed for download. Unfortunately, these files attempt to open directly in the browser. I need a way to force a Save As.

I'm trying to force a file download using ASP but not getting very far... I want the browser to send .pdf files to the user rather than trying to open them within IE (or wotever browser). Does anyone know what code I should use for this?
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.
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.
i want to write an application in ASP,in this i want to generate an excel file,in which all records will save in that excel file as per i ve given the query after saving records in excel file ,immediately i should get save as dialog box so that i will save that file on my local drive.i don't want to save that file on web, whenever file gets created & records saved,it will show me save as dialog box.
What is the appropriate control or code to pop a "save as" dialog window to allow the user of a web page to save a document after they click on a link? All of the CommonDialog controls obviously are to be used on WinForms, so not sure how to accomplish this from an aspx page.
I'm using FileUPload from softartisans (not my choice, but my company's), and in our testing environment, the anyonymous web user can successfully upload and delete files to the server (iis 5.0/win2000). However, in our production environment (same software/hardware setups), the web user can only delete a file, the file upload doesn't work. I've set if Err's do a response.write after each and ever step...and no errors are written out. i can do a generic response.write("Test") at the top, middle and bottom of the script and it prints on the page. The IUSR_xxxxxxx internet guest account has modify access for the directories (identical to the testing environment).
I have a form that has the user fill in a date, title, & browse for a file to upload. If I comment out the file upload & ONLY have them fill in the date & title using the default form encryption (application/x-www-form-urlencoded), everything works fine. If I comment out the date & title and change the form encryption to multipart/form-data, the file uploads fine.
BUT, if I leave the encryption type as multipart/form-data and UNcomment the date & title, I get an error. They both come through as empty strings. Why is this? And is there any way around it aside from breaking the form into two pages?
I am using the CDONTS.newmail object to send file as an attachment so I used attachfile method. it seems the attach file wont work if the file size more than 100 KB , does anybody know if there is a size limit or where to change it I am using the SMTP server included with IIS 5.0.
PS when file is sent, it will show on the EMAIL as an attachment only with 0 bytes.
I have a virtual path setup in order to give my web server access to a file on my app server. I am using the file system object to check for the existance of the file and if it exists, it has to validate the file date.
The problem is I can't seem to find the file. I can successfully check for the existance of a file on the web server, but once I enter the virtual path it can't find anything. All three of these calls return false...
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 want to be able to let users download movies from my site, but when they click on the link it opens automatically with windows media player. Of course, they could right click and save target as, but the majority of users don't realise this.
Is there a way to tell a page to send the file to the browser as an attachment and force them to save it to disk i.e. not open automatically.

I want the MP3 audio files to be able to download by users only.

Currently 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.
Now i am facing a problem where if a user does not have permission to click on the link to download, the user can guess the path and the file name and directly type the path on the address bar to download the file.
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
