I need to log how many times one spesific file is downloaded from my
website. First I thought this could be done simply by routing via a script
that count number of downloads, and then redirect to the spesific file. But
this soultion will not work when a user right click on the file/link and
choose "save target as...". How can I solute this?
I'm running windows 2000 profession, and i know that i can install it from control panel but i tried and it's asking me for the cd and id ont have it.
Could you give me the direct links to the IIS Download as well as the Personal Web Server download.
I have an FTP server that I use to store documents. When a user needs to download any document the "download link" directly points to the FTP server (eg: <a href="ftp://some URL since URL are blocked">Download</a>). I want to avoid this and now have added a user name and password to the FTP sever. But instead of giving the link as "ftp://usernameassword@myftpserver.com/document.xls, I want a much secure way of letting the user download the file without letting the user know about the FTP server username and password.
View Replies View RelatedI have an Access db with usernames and passwords set up on a web site. Upon signing in to a password protected asp page which contains a link to an exe file, the user clicks the link and the browser asks to either Open or Save the file.All this works fine, but if the user simply types the full path to in the address bar, the browser again asks the user to either Open or Save the file - thus bypassing the security Is there a way to prevent this "back door" of accessing the file or would I have to set up an FTP mechanism.

View Replies View RelatedI have an VB ASP page that creates, using a linked database, ad-hoc queries. Like, the user selects what table to look into, what fields, any criterias (ex: PROVINCE="QC"), etc. That part is easy.The problem is, I would like the results to be outputted in MS EXCEL. Well, it's not my idea, but I have to do it. Any ideas how this can be done?
My only idea would be that:
1) The ASP page writes to a file on the server and offer a link to the user to download that file.
2) User Downloads
3) We can't have these Excel files cluttering up the server, so the file would also have to be deleted automatically.
Is this even remotely possible?
I'm not too good with ASP, so is it even possible to write to file? Could I create a Workbook/worksheet object using VB ASP?Can I delete the file programatically
Does anyone know of a way to be able to take 10 urls which point to zip files and then for it to download them one by one, i.e. when one has finished to then begin the next one.
This is for an asp site which is why i posted it here, but i am not sure where to post this as i dont even know how to go about doing it.
I have a website setup which also provide ability to download latest version
of our Software by logging into the webpage. All latest softwares (ONLY ONE
FILE .EXE for each Software) are located in the "/Download" folder of my
website. Customer will login to website and the ASP page decide the software
that this user has purchased and privide ONLY that Hyperlink to download the
latest Version file.
My problem is if somoe body know the path and file name then they directly
put the URL in address bar and will get latest file. How do I restrict that?
Please suggest all possible solutions.
A big problem with most server statistics is that when they count file downloads, they are counting the number of requests to the server, not complete downloads. Is it possible to count downloads more accurately?
I can use the Response.IsClientConnected command immediately after streaming the file to the browser but it's working only for files with size less then 80MB . How can I resolve this problem?
I have a file that SHOULD only be made accessable to registered users. They must login to get to the download page. The problem I have is that once a user logs in an gets to that page they can potentially share the web link to that file with anyone and that unregistered user can bypass logging in.
I was thinking something along the lines of download.com where when you click download, the actual files location only appears for a split second, pops up the download box, then it switches to another webaddress?
I have a website that (like many) allows users to download large files. Some are up to several hundred MB in size. The problem is that since switching to IIS 6.0, the size of the file is limited by the ASPBufferingLimit, and it's size seems to be limited to only 4294967295 bytes.
That's pretty big but it's not quite big enough and I need to disable it. Some people have recommended setting it to -1 via:
c:
cd C:inetpubadminscripts
cscript adsutil.vbs set /w3svc/1/aspbufferinglimit -1
but the -1 doesn't really "take"...IIS keeps it at 4294967295.
Setting it to 0 does "take", but then IIS returns nothing (0 bytes).
How do I disable or workaround this security feature in IIS which is not allowing people to download large files?
I currently need to allow users to download a series of Excel files from the intranet which were generated individually using ASP. Rather than have them click one link at a time to download only one file, I want to find out if it is possible to let them download the whole series of files with one link click.
The users are all on the LAN so bandwidth is not an issue. Furthermore, the total size of all the files is only 100kb.
I'm trying to make a logout link to where once someone logs out, not only will they be sent to another page, but they will not be able to go back into their account by pressing the back button, but by logging back in.

I'm developing an application that uses a custom 404 page to deliver all of my site's content. However, doing things this way renders IIS's regular log files pretty much useless.
Are there any established "best practices" for creating your own logging system? I know that others use this technique and I'm hoping someone has some ideas they can pass along. For example, do you log every single page request or do you just log totals per day, week, or month? How do you deal with the increasing volumes of data? Do you collect referrer data, etc.?

View Replies View RelatedI have experienced some ASP errors in my web application and I'm unable to reproduce those errors because IIS is configured in a way that does not send any debugging messages to the user (and I cannot change it). Only standard string "An error occured on the web server when processing the url..." is sent.
So Is there any way to log such situations to the eventlog, a file, database or any other storage? OR Is there any way to allow me to send only piece on debugging information to the user. In other words: I'd like to send error code that would be understandable only by me?

Later in the page if the user submits a form to add data to another database I want it to populate a column in a table using the ref number. that should be rather easy once I actually have that ref number.so how would I tell the page to go to my database and grab his ref number (as well as his name to be able to display Welcome first Lastname instead of userid?
