Is 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 2 RepliesI have web page, in that I place some links(hyperlinks or linkbuttons).
each button, when user clicks then a file should be downloaded to the user system..
files that are to be downloaded exists in asp.net website project folder>>downloads folder.
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'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:
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition",
here's the code so far:
[Code]....
[Code]....
mov is a quicktime file, my server has the mimetype: video/quicktime .......... but as I read, this code forces the save as download box which is exactly what i want :) now, here's the catch, i the file I am fetching is NOT on the physical path... it is on a completely different server:Protected Sub LinkButton1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LinkButton1.Click
Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = "x-msdownload"
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", ("attachment; filename=mydownload.mov"))
Response.TransmitFile("http://myOTHERserver.com/files/mydownload.mov")
Response.End()
End Sub
Obviously this doesn't work since TransmitFile requires that the file be on your physical path, so how do i do this? Someone said you must use the stream method. Do you have any sample code I could try? I've tried the HTTPStreamReader object but it's giving me issues, so I would love to find out if there is anyway this might work. Now here's some more important information: this are HUGE video files.. we are creating a downloads page... written in asp.net -- so you create an account using the .net membership class, then you select the file you want, go through a form where you enter your billing info and then after you pay a certain fee (this is already implemented), you go to your "downlaods" area in your account... there you have access to the files......... the reason i'm doing this is because i want to hide the download link, which will be something likehttp://myOTHERserver.com/2340987sdfkjhalsdlkjh23 ... (something really crazy)....... we don't want people seeing this on the status bar (Therefore hiding the download link is ESSENTIAL)........ the files are a good 500MB each approximately; so i would love to hear all of your suggestions as to making the streamreader work for me and how long would it take for the streamreader to READ the file........
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...
I'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?
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 4 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.
