Downloading A File From An FTP Server To Local Drive Using StreamWriter?
Nov 7, 2010
i have been trying to solve this for hours with no luck. i seem to be missing something fundamental.
i have a remote FTP server with a file called log.txt on it, i wish to allow web users to download this file to their local drive to a designated folder.
i have a function calling this sub i found on the web with the filename to download.when trying to run this code i get this error:
" Could not find a part of the path 'C: empFtpDownloadsFolderlog.txt'. "
[Code]....
if i replace this line:
[Code]....
i get no error but the file is not in the TempPath. (it shows it to be saved to "C:WindowsTEMPlog.txt" )
i have a feeling its being save on the server instead of my local drive.
There is a hyperlink to a local file...for instance....C:/text.txt. This is not possible, because ASP.net does not allow links to local files. But, links to files on network drives such as W:/test.txt are working ok. how does the browser know which drive letter is local,and which is networked? How does it know that C: is local or D: is local etc, and that W: is a network drive?
I tried to save a file to local drive using the code below but got "access denied" error. How to save file to local drive? Dim file As String = "c:myfile" Dim stream As New System.IO.FileStream(file, System.IO.FileMode.Create)
I am using asp.net 4.0 with C#. I have a webpage which shows a tabular list and upon clicking any one of it, the path of the swf file is queried to the access database and then the file needs to be played on the same webpage.
I'll be having a website to upload images and am creating the database now , I'll have one original image and about 6 to 7 thumbnails , I just want it to be in the best possible way so I thought I'll save the original image in database and I'll be saving it's thumbnails on hard drive as they're going to be accessed alot so I dont want the httphandlers to be bringing like 20 images from the database while they can be brought easily from the harddrive.
I have a folder C:Images which has a some images. This folder is not inside my project and I would to know if there is a way to load an image from that folder on to an ASP.NET Image control.
<asp:Image ID="img" runat="server" />
One solution could be to make the Images folder a Virtual directory on the IIS but I would like to know if this can be done without creating a virtual directory for the Images folder.
I have a asp page in which i have to display the image which is stored in my local disk C: i.e.. C:Program FilesAdrenalinAdrenalinUploadedFilesTemplateFileabc.jpg
how can i do that...i am not able to do so. the image is not displayed instead it shows a empty image holder with the name of the image as specified and URL as not available.
i want to provide facility to my users to upload multiple images into my website using asp.net 2.0, using single file uploader i.e. want to upload all the image file from a folder.
i have web site, and i am using <asp:FileUpload ID="fileUploader" runat="server"/> to upload client xml file in sql database.
My site is hosted on Testing server, using IIS7.0, but client don't have iis server on his local machin.
Now the problem is that, if the user is trying to upload the xml file(or text file) from local machine(client machine), when user click the Browser button of "asp:FileUpload" control to open the local hard drive (C:) it's not openinig the client machine(local machine) hard drive(C: or D:). so user is not able to select his file location from his local machine to upload it.
But after clicking the Browser button it opening the Server hard drive.
Currently I have the text file going to desktop, in ASP how can I prompt a file save dialog for the user? The result is string from the streamreader as "result" as follows:
StreamWriter FileWriter = new StreamWriter(Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop), "file.txt")); FileWriter.Write(result); FileWriter.Close();
I'm using a streamwriter to write a tab delimited file (for import into Mail Chimp), but the last line of the file is always missing a few characters. Doesn't matter what size the List<t> is (its small - about 128 lines)
I've looked at the last item of the List in the debugger and it's just like all the rest. On write, its always cutting off the last characters - which happen to be '.com'. Kinda important. Some posts say to flush and close - tried it. No change. Last characters still AWOL.
CreateDirectoryIfDoesNotExist(); WebClient webClient = new WebClient(); [code]...
When i deploy it on the server; and run my program, i get a message saying that download has completed successfully. But the problem is that the file is downloaded on the server machine in the filefolder (LocalFileFolder). I want it to be downloaded on the local machine. What is it that I am doing wrong?
I am currently developing an ASP.net application, where I generate a word document in server and I want to save it in client machine who access that feature with out user interactions. How can I download it and save it in client machine, using javascript?
When I'm trying to download a 50 MB file from a database (it is not an issue with a smaller file size), it stops in the middle sometimes and resumes again after a long time.
I've looked all over the web for something that would show me how to do this but can't find it. I have a page that uploads information about an individual including a resume in the form of a doc docx or pdf. I can upload the file okay but I do not know how to, on another page, To download the file that was loaded to that person's row in the database. Here is the upload code
I am downloading file from remote server in page load using content disposition. After downloading the file i am trying show some other controls in the page. But that controls are showing asp.net .
I have a file structure setup by project number on my local drive. I have a database with the projectnumber, projectname, client, etc. I set up grid view to display the projectname, projectnumber and client. I need the projectname to be a hyperlink and once its clicked it should open the project folder on the local dirve. i need some code to bind my projectnumber to a hyprelink string of some nature that looks like F:/Projects/{ProjectNuber}
i have some problem on downloading file which file types are .doc, .docx and .pdf.
I have wrote the code for downloading when the button is click. the button can download these three types of file when click.
[Code]....
But, i have some weird condition. when i test in my local pc using the firefox, the downloading box popup with the file type detected. but when i upload the code files in live server and test the download button using firefox, the downloading popup but it cannot detect the file type.
therefore, i can proceed the download process using the firefox but i failed to open the files coz it dun have the file type.
I able to successfully see all the Excel files in the given folder using the datagrid and code below. Now I would like to be able to click the link to the file, or add a button, to get a download file dialog box. [Code]....
i have two tasks to accomplish. There are several pdf files (invoices) sitting in web server. My tasks are 1) enabling Olga to download multiple invoices into her local computer WITHOUT prompting any dialog box. 2) printing these files then automatically by default local printer from her desktop computer. How is possible this? She has birthday soon. No gift could be better than this solution as she has to open each pdf separately and hit print button about 40 times a day.
