How do i download a file from server to the client pc using asp.net, im using c# with vs 2005. I have tried with WebCient but it is downloading on the server itself. I want to download a particular file to the client PC.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to do the following in ASP.NET (with c#):
1. On page Load, download an XML file from a different website to the IIS server, in a subdirectory of the application directory called "downloadedFiles"
I know that WebClient.DownloadFile() can download a file, but this only seems to download the file to the client's machine. I am interested in downloading it to the actual IIS server (so that it can be utilized throughout the lifetime of more than one session). Does anyone know how this could be performed?
Specifically, I'm trying to download an XML file from a website (as an example: [URL]) . How could I download that XML file onto my actual IIS server?
Anybody know how I can download a file to client from server?
View 4 RepliesI am using the code below to enable clients to download a .csv file from my server.
The problem I am having is that when the file is saved to the client computer the file name is prefixed and suffixed with an underscore which leads to a file type of .csv_ which is obviously not a recognised file type.
How can I strip the underscores from the file name at the transmit stage?
Dim FileName As String = LstBox1.SelectedItem.ToString
Dim FilePath As String = "~/temp" & FileName
Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = "text/csv"
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & FileName & "")
Response.TransmitFile(FilePath)
Response.End()
i have made csv on the server like this:
string Expath = @"d:A.csv";
protected void Button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
FileStream FS = null;
StreamWriter SW = null;
try
{
FS = new FileStream(Expath, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.ReadWrite);
SW = new StreamWriter(FS, Encoding.Default);..............
is it correct to make this file on `d:` on the server ? if not where is better to place hem? how do to that the client can download this file after he made it ? (asp.net C#)

View 3 Repliesi want to show info like how much time will be requited to download file in client machine. every client will have different internet speed so how can i detect and show time required to download file in client machine. is it possible in asp.net.
View 2 Repliessuppose when user click on link or button for downloading file in asp.net then download start.so i just want to know how to detect that the file as been downloaded in client machine.is it possible to track from server side code. because i want to develop a file download sectionfrom where user at a time can download only single file. so in this case when file download starti will just capture client ip and store it in session and so when user click on another link to download another fileat the same when another file is downloading so in this situation i will check file is downloading from this ip and if yesthen i will reject user request and tell him that sorry already a file is downloading so try after when this download willbe over. when file download will be over then i will clear that session and in this way my purpose will be solved andrestric user to downlolad multiple file.this type of things is used in rapidshare,hotfile etc. so i just implement this

View 2 RepliesI have the developers edition of sql server 2008 on my local machine (I have an msdn subscription). I would like to download and use r2 client, which I understand is superior to the standard client) but not the express database. Do I want the "SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with Management Tools " (doesnt sound like what I want) or the "SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio Express" (does sound like what I want, and is about 100M smaller, so I assume doesnt load the database). Of course I am assuming that the r2 client connects with no problems to a non-r2 database.

Assume a simple aspx data entry page in which admin user can upload an image as well as some other data. They are stored in database and the next time admin visits that page to edit record, image data fetched and a preview generated and saved to disk (using GDI+) and the preview is shown in an image control.
This procedure works fine for the first time however if the image changes (a new one uploaded) the next time the page is surfed it shows previously uploaded image. I debugged the application and everything works correct. The new image data is in database and new preview is stored in Temp location however the page shows previous one. If I refresh the page it shows the new image preview. I should mention that preview is always saved to disk with one name (id of each record as the name).
I think that is because of IE and other browsers use client cache instead of loading images each time a page is surfed. I wonder if there is a way to force the client browser to refresh itself so the newly uploaded image is shown without user intervention.
This below code i have used in my aspx page for file download.
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename="" + emailAttachment.FileName + "";");
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
Response.OutputStream.Write(emailAttachment.Data, 0, emailAttachment.Data.Length);
Response.End();

I want to download a file from server to a local host.i have a code from the net which should work but is not working
protected void Button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//To Get the physical Path of the file(test.txt)[code]....
now when the button is clicked the file should be downloaded from the server to the local host computer... but nothing seems to be happening...i have the test.txt on the desktop of the serer... the save file option also does not come on the client side..I publish the files and put it in the inetpub folder of the server and run the GUI from the client side.. everything works except this...this program downloads a file if it is present in the inetpub folder.. instead i want to download from any location within the server...
if any one know how to download the file from the FTP server using credential of the ftp. code step by step in C#.net.
View 2 RepliesIs there a way I can code some vb whereby the server would download a file from a given URL from an external website elsewhere? For example, if I entered the url for the 7-Zip exe, it would then download that from SourceForge of wherever, and save it to the server.
View 3 Repliesi am downloading a file from a server and i plan to delete the file that i have downloaded on the server after it gets downloaded on the client side. My download code is working fine but i dont know when to put the command to delete the file.
string filepath = restoredFilename.ToString();
// Create New instance of FileInfo class to get the properties of the file being downloaded
FileInfo myfile = new FileInfo(filepath);
// Checking if file exists
if (myfile.Exists)
{
// Clear the content of the response
Response.ClearContent();
// Add the file name and attachment, which will force the open/cancel/save dialog box to show, to the header
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + myfile.Name);
//Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=" + myfile.Name);
// Add the file size into the response header
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", myfile.Length.ToString());
// Set the ContentType
Response.ContentType = ReturnExtension(myfile.Extension.ToLower());
//// Write the file into the response (TransmitFile is for ASP.NET 2.0. In ASP.NET 1.1 you have to use WriteFile instead)
Response.TransmitFile(myfile.FullName);
// End the response
Response.End();
}
Now i know the response.End() will stop every thing and return the value, so is there another way too do so. I need to call a function
DeleteRestoredFileForGUI(restoredFilename);
to delete the file but dont know where to put it.. i tried putting before and after Response.End() but it does not work.
here code which you have used and is working to upload file using file upload control and them download with open/saveas/cancel dialog.

I am having an issue downloading files that I have store in SQL Server. I have no problem in a WinForm. What am I doing wrong in my code?
[Code]....
I have a window open from another page because I was having an issue doing this while the page was ajaxified. The FileData part of the code is a structure that holds a memorystream and 2 strings and they are returning proper values. The window opens up and then closes almost immediately when the page loads.
The below code works fine for downloading a file from a current pc.plz suggest me how to download it from remote server using ip address or any method

const string fName = @"C:ITFSPDFbillsFebruaryAA.pdf";
FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(fName);
long sz = fi.Length;
Response.ClearContent();
Response.ContentType = MimeType(Path.GetExtension(fName));
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", string.Format("attachment; filename = {0}", System.IO.Path.GetFileName(fName)));
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", sz.ToString("F0"));
Response.TransmitFile(fName);
Response.End();
}
public static string MimeType(string Extension)
{
string mime = "application/octetstream";
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(Extension))
return mime;
string ext = Extension.ToLower();
Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey rk = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey(ext);
if (rk != null && rk.GetValue("Content Type") != null)
mime = rk.GetValue("Content Type").ToString();
return mime;
