Download Existing File From IIS Results In File Does Not Exists (404)?
Mar 25, 2010
I have a full working web site that i ported to a new hosting company. In some pages i have links to PDF on the server (they do exist!) On the old server no problem. On the new one when user clicks on the link : error 404 file does not exist.. Should i look in the web.config ? i don't know where to start
2) Sample the size of that ftp file (3) times to ensure the file is ready for downloading.
We have some classes doing this already but they are using WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails and then searching there in if file exists. I am hoping there are some clean ways to do this.
I receive data in .csv format. I have a some records on a table, so what I need to do is to check if the data I receive exist on the table of records that I need to match against.
If the record exist, then an email/sms should be sent to notify me that the records has been matched and then that record should be flaged that it has been tested so that I don't test it again as the incoming data are saved.
i have a site that will enable users to download an ebook file.i have successfully built architecture to enable users to download pdf and txt files, but it won't work when i try with a .mobi file, even though i know the file exists.the site works by allowig users to upload their work as .doc, .docx or .odt. once it's verified, the site publishes it as .pdf, .txt and .mobi and makes it available for download. the download code is...
(there are also versions with .txt and .pdf) the file definitely exists at the location in .txt, .pdf and .mobi extensions. however, the .mobi version simply won't work i get an error 404 resource not found. mystifyingly, the pdf and txt versions work perfectly.
I am downloading file from database using the following code. This code downloads an excel file from the database which has a macro attached to it when it is opened. This macro reads file name of the excel file and uses it for its computation. Everthing works file if user saves the file on his harddisk and then open if but if he directly opens the file from the dialog(by hitting 'Open' button) then file name of the opened excel file comes out be the name of the webform that has the above code and this leads to error in the macro. Is there any option through which i can control the name of the file if user directly opens the file from dialog or the option to disable or remove 'Open' button form the dialog?
I am doing a project, In that i have to store some content in excel file and should have to save as sample.xls. If the file is already Exists, then have to store sample1.xls and again if it is exists, then sample2.xls...like that.... How in c# code.
Actually, I have developed an Website. In that, one page contains a message text field, If a user typed some text & clicked save button, that content should be store in excel file and save in different name with sequence series..

Is there a way to add a file upload progress bar to the existing .net file uploader? I have an uploader on my site that has all kinds of things tied to it that I can't change to use an AJAX uploader. Or as far as I know I can't. So I was wondering if anyone knew how to add the progress bar to the asp.net uploader.
In our application, we allow user to upload documents which can be PDF, Doc, XLS, TXT. Uploaded documents will be saved on web server. We need to display link for each document user uploaded and when user click on that link, it should open relevant document. it is expected to have required software to open relevant documents.
To upload document, we use saveAs method of FileUpload control and it works absolutely fine.Now, how to view it?I believe, i need to copy/download file to local user machine and need to open it using Process.Start.For that i need to find user local temp directory. if i put path.GetTempPath(), it gives me web server directory and copy file there.
This block of code display Download file Dialog for Open or Save the attached file.It's working fine in Mozila Firefox and IE8 but doesn't display Download file Dialog box in IE 7
I have made an application where I am displaying the .pdf , .doc , .docx files. These files are uploading from an Admin Panel.When user place a mouse pointer on download icon provided in front of every file, it shows the complete path where it’s get saved.I want to avoid this path visibility even when user place mouse on download icon and even if it Inspect an element (as most modern browser will have this functionality).
I have a simple 'file download' generic handler which sets the response contenttype and headers before sending the file through the same response.
I also have Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.server) set in the global.asax.
As I have noticed from various sources, Internet Explorer doesn't like this no-cache setting and gives an error when trying to download the file (requested site unavailable or cannot be found).
I thought maybe I could override this setting in the .ashx page, so I alter the response's cacheability setting to public. This did not solve the issue. removing the line from global.asax does solve the problem but obviously affects the whole site.
Is there a way of setting the cachability just for my generic handler?
In an ASP.NET WebForms 2.0 site we are encountering an intermittent bug in IE6 whereby a file download attempt results in the contents of the being shown directly in the browser as text, rather than the file save dialog being displayed. Our application allows the user to download both PDF and CSV files. The code we're using is:
This is called from the code-behind click event handler of a button server control. Where are we going wrong with this approach? Edit Following James' answer to this posting, the code I'm using now looks like this:
HttpResponse response = HttpContext.Current.Response; response.ClearHeaders(); // Setting cache to NoCache was recommended, but doing so results in a security // warning in IE6 //response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache); response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="theFilename.pdf""); response.ContentType = "application/pdf"; response.BinaryWrite(MethodThatReturnsFileContents()); response.Flush(); response.End();
However, I don't believe that any of the changes made will fix the issue.
I'm trying to force a large (200+ MB) file to download that's on a remote server. The problem is that I can't use the "WriteFile()" function, since I'm not using a virtual path. Then, when I try:
I need to retrieve and save a word document from a xml document ... I can retrieve name, phone number that and all .but i do no how download and save a word document from xml database .
I had a download task in my project, which inserts files and downloads these files. I did my table in database and have a column which has the path of file and folder in project which will have the files. I did this well and my files insert well in folder and path in database. But I could not download these files from folder with the ID of path from database
I calculate the total size of my PDF file which is mentioned below. What does this return? When I download a 2KB file, it returns a size of 2KB, which is correct. But when I download 2 files each of size 2KB, then the total size it returns is 2.16KB. Is that correct? Should it return 4KB?
I am using the code below which I have found on one of the forums to download a file in remote server. it seems it is working. However, the downloaded file is corrupted and I cannot unzip.
I'm about to submit my pad file to multiple sharware sites but the pad file has to have a direct link to the download file and can't link to a download page which is what I would like to do, so I can track the traffic and get the downloader's email before allowing the download. I am running an ASP.NET site in VB. Is there a way to tell the web app to redirect to a specific aspx page when it receives a request for a specific file?
