Access Files On Different Server
Oct 18, 2010
Brief Description: I want to be able to use my asp.net application to access files on another server used as a file system(storing .pdf, .xls, .doc files etc.). In Depth Description: Right now the web page has a gridview. The gridview has links to documents using paths like \servernamefilename. Our server guys said that this method would be using a CIFS protocol and would not work.
That we would need to set it up so that the application accesses the file through a service account or something. Does this make sense to anyone and can any provide a more in depth explanation. What would we have to change programatically to have our .net application access files on another server?

I have been struggling with an issue that sounds like it should be quite common but I can't seem to get the thing working no matter how much I research it!
I am using an AJAX file uploader to upload files (up to 100MB) to the webserver and when the user clicks a button to complete navigate to the next page, I then attempt to move the files off the webserver onto a file server on Page_Load. Both servers are WinServer 2003. There just isn't enough space on the webserver to hold all the uploads once we go live with this solution so I have to get the files off the webserver.
Uploading the file and creating a new subdirectory on the webserver (to hold the file) works no problem at all. When I do the file copy to our file server locally on VS2008, again, no problem. However, when I delopy to the live server and try the same thing, the upload happens ok, but the file copy does not. I get an UnauthorizedAccessException. I don't have access to the webserver myself (but can request it if absolutely necessary) and our file server sits within the same domain (Active Directory).
I do not want to use Impersonation at a high level (web.config), so I tried it programmatically for the purposes of the copy file but it did not work. I used one of our general clerical accounts to pass in the credentials and gave full permission to this account on the file server to create/modify files.
Stack Trace:
[code]...
And the Copy code is:

I want to Access remote server( ie., want to access online server not local server) in my Application.. I change Settings in SQL surface Area Configuration---> Remote Connection ( checked the Local and Remote Connection ) Then while running the application it showing the following error.(I make off the firewall also) An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)

I manage a large asp.net site which has previously been converted from static html site to asp.net. For several reasons (mainly SEO) we decided not to rename all the files to .aspx back when we originally converted the site. This was very easy to do by simply adding the buildProvider and httpHandler to the web.config.
<buildProviders>
<add extension=".html" type="System.Web.Compilation.PageBuildProvider"/>
</buildProviders>
<httpHandlers>
<add path="*.html" verb="*" type="System.Web.UI.PageHandlerFactory"/>
</httpHandlers>
Now I am upgrading the site to use Asp.net WebPages with Razor cshtml files. I can rename all the files if necessary, and use url rewriting to make the urls stay the same, however it would be much easier if I could just configure the web.config to tell it to parse .html files as if they were .cshtml. I have searched around quite a bit, and could not find anything equivalent to the PageHandlerFactory for razor pages. It appears as though it is just an internal mechanism in the .net 4.0 ISAPI handler.
The site is currently running on Windows 2003 server and IIS 6. We will be upgrading to 2008/IIS 7.5 in the near future, but I'd prefer not to wait for that. Is there any way to get the .html files to be parsed by razor as if they were .cshtml files?

I have a form with 10 file inputs. They can contain 10 random files with random sizes. If I send these files to ASP.NET server with this code:
var count = HttpContext.Current.Request.Files.Count;
var TotalSize = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++ )
{
HttpPostedFile postedFile = HttpContext.Current.Request.Files.Get(i);
TotalSize += postedFile.ContentLength;
}
And as you can see I didn't save the files on the server, will this code just calculate the summary of files without need to receive the whole file from the client (And therefore it would be very fast)?

it should be in asp.net. but, it is urgent and important, wish someone here know the answer.
what I need do for an asp.net page is:
1) client select a file, or;
2) client select a folder;
Get file (or files in the folder)'s properties, something like name, ext, etc. and save to db.
it will be easy if it is a desktop app. however, in asp.net, how can I do that? do I have to upload all files to server first? is there a way to do this for all files in a folder? any third party control?

I have built an online CMS that is forms authenticated. The CMS allows administrators to upload files to the website. These files are stored outside of the Forms Authenticated section of the site so that they can be accessed from another site I have built. This other site is also forms authenticated, so users must log in and then they can access the files on the CMS site. site1.com: CMS for administrators only. Site stores all the files. site2.com: Access site.
My second website (The access site), is basically an empty shell that is filled with all of its content through the CMS using an SQL database and then displayed on the page. This works fine as only authenticated users have access to the interface used to view and download the files. My problem was, even though there is no public interface to find the files, someone could surely type [URL] and the video would be available to them. I dont really know what to do here, is there any way that people could be blocked from retrieving the files like this?

How can i prevent users from getting the list of files that exist in my website?
For example when users type on the address bar the WebsiteAddress+/DirectoryToSearch/ they get the list of files in that directory, without getting any permission denied error
Is there any setting in asp.net that am i missing?

In my project I have a website that has 2 sides, the client side and the management side. Everything is completed and works fine.
My idea was to place the management files in a separate folder (mysite.com/admin) the problem is that when I moved the files it could not compile because my admin pages inherit from a class in the app_ folder and looks like it cannot access it.
I wanted to compile the files in the app folder into a DLL but when I try, it gives me a error in the namespace System.Web.UI.Security and the WebControls ns...
How can I access my classes if my files reside in a subfolder within the same application. If I take the files out of the subfolder everything works fine

I need to restric access to my admin folder to certain people. Those with no authentication ticket should be redirectered to a "not allowed page". How do I identify all pages in my admin folder. I have so far but is it OK?
If url.Contains("/admin") Then
'If authentication ticket incorrect then
`Response.Redirect("~/notallowed_admin.aspx")`
End If
And not, I cannot use my web.config for this particular issue.

I want to be able to provide a list of files on an ASP.Net page which link to files on the users shared drives.
When the user clicks the link they can modify the file and then save it back to the shared drive.
An example would be:
<a href="file://M: estBook1.xls">M: estBook1.xls</a>
However this does not work, even from a trusted site.
I can understand the security implications but these can be managed.

This is the problem that im having:
When i try with localhost, there isnt any problem, but when i try with the ip of my network computer, i get "file not found", and the path is correct. asp.net uses different users to access resources depending if the url is localhost or ip of the network?

Here is my dilema, on my site i have a WordPress Audio player (http://wpaudioplayer.com/standalone) that plays my mp3's.
It loads the Mp3's in by javascript...example below:
AudioPlayer.embed("audioplayer_7", { soundFile: "/Files/Music/[name of file].mp3" });
This file name is clearly visible in the browser source. Not a problem, however this means that any user can legitimately browse to the file directly and download it.
Now i still need the mp3 player (which is flash) to have access to the file but if a user was to try accessing the file directly, they would not be allowed access to it.
I am not sure how to go about this, i am circling the idea of a httphandler but not sure if this is sufficiant to stop the direct access to the file.
