Downloading Files From Ftp - How To Call Download Dialog Box
Dec 23, 2010
i created a website that allows the user to download a file from a ftp server.
i can get the file to download perfectly to a specific location on the clients pc but
my problem is that i cannot get the file to download to the default path or the browser or prompt the user to choose a location to save the file.
is there anyone who knows how i can either prompt the user to save the file in a location or even get the file to download to the browsers default downloads path
I want to secure folder of my website for example if some one do [URL] then it is giving access to mayur.doc which is in templocation folder of my website
in my project i have a folder containing N number of files. I need a functionality that the page should have links for all those files so that client can download those files.
For this i have dynamically created Link Buttons and linked each file with each link Button.
But the problem is that, when i am trying to download this:
the file is downloading in HTML format, moreover the file name of downloaded file becomes same to my Code file name where as i want the actual name. the downloaded file have the actual data but it also contains the html code to the page on which this links are coming
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 want to initiate download for a pdf file. I used the code below, however the file is downloaded before the save as dialog box is displayed. I want to display the dialog box before downloading!
I am dynamically generating a file from server based on user input. I need to provide a download button which, upon clicking, downloads a file to the user's file system. Also, the user might click the same button twice, upon which the file should download again.The dynamic generation of file rules out the HttpResponse.TransmitFile() option, which suports mutliple download.Almost every other option I have come across needs Response.End() to be invoked, which prevents a second download.How do I satisfy the 'multiple download" requirement?Read up on Virtual Path providers, which might enable me to use TransmitFile(), but that looks like an overkill for such a simple requirement.
In my project, I've created a download button. This button shall perform 3tasks:
1. Change label text 2. Download file 3. Make the button invisible
The following code changes the label text and make the button invisible:
Code:
Protected Sub btnDownload_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDownload.Click lblDownload.Text = "<h3>Thank you for downloading </h3>" btnDownload.Visible = False End Sub
When I add a piece of code that handles the file download, the label text is not changed and button remains visible. Here is the code:
Code: Protected Sub btnDownload_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDownload.Click Dim URL As String = "~/myfile.exe" Dim fileInfo As FileInfo = New FileInfo(Server.MapPath(URL)) If fileInfo.Exists Then Response.Clear()
I'm new to this forum, infact this is the first forum i hav ever joined. I need some help urgently as i'm reaching the deadline of my project.I created an asp.net website, where administrator will upload files to SQL database which is connected to the webpage. From the web page there will be a download link to download those uploaded files. I have been successful in uploading files to the database. But nothing is striking in my mind regarding how to download files directly from database using asp.net C#.
I'm working on a project that requires the ability to let a user download a pdf from a static location on the server. I'm reading the instructions from this website, it's an old post and I notice they specify in an update that Microsoft's MVC framework has long since included and Action Result that allows the same functionality they discuss thus rendering it obsolete, I've looked a bit online but haven't been able to find any resources that discuss this built-in functionality.
I got file names in an ArrayList say my _files. What i want to do is that i want to download files in zipformat when an user presses a back say "download now".
i made a file uploader to folder named (Books) and i saved the name and the bath of the uploaded file to my DataBase but when i wanna download the uploaded file from the server ? how i make it ? by hyperlink ?
I am working on some project where I am needed to allow users to upload files, but only in pdf and .doc format. Now I know how to let users upload files, but I do not know how to check whether an uploading files is pdf and .doc or not. How could I know that? And how could I know the size of each file, for the file should be no greater than 3 MB?
Also, I have alloted a separate folder for the files that are uploaded by users. I have one page that displays the links to download the files in that folder. I needed to know how could I keep the track of the folder, for the files get uploaded every time? Or in other words, how could my 'downloads page' know about the files in that folder and create links for each file in that folder for the download? Also, if I create a link of a file for downloading purposes, will the file be downloaded when one clicks the link?
I have ASP.NET page with an iframe on it for displaying some pdf reports on this page. When user select the report type from dropdown, I add the needed for report data into the ASP.NET Session and change the attribute "src" of the iframe to .ashx module address which generates the .pdf report.But if Adobe glug-in for viewing .pdf files in browser is not installed, browser proposes to save report file and name of the proposed file is "HandlerName.ashx".But I want to make the browser proposed to save the file with the name "Report.pdf".
I'm working on a reporting script which runs a number of reports (pdf) on button click. The reports are created on the web server then I'd like the user to be given the option to download the files. I have worked out the script for downloading one file from the server. But I'm not sure how to download multiple files? (there will probably be about 50)
After I run one report I redirect the user to a http handler script.
Response.Redirect("Download.ashx?ReportName=" + "WeeklySummary.pdf"); public class Download : IHttpHandler { public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) {
in the folllowing code i'm writing the file creation. but when i upload using filestream object it shows download dialog box every time. how to upload this file without download dialog box?

I used this sample to work around the issue we were having with large files. [URL] Unfortunately, when I attempt to download large files of 30MBs or more, the download times out and the user gets a partial download. It doesn't seem to be a consistant percentage of the download either. I attempted to download a 50MB file and got to 33MB. When trying a 30MB file, I downloaded 24MB.Below is my code.
if (File.Exists(strFilePath)) { fileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(strFilePath); Response.Clear(); system.IO.Stream iStream = null; byte[] buffer = new Byte[10000]; int length; long dataToRead; try { iStream = new System.IO.FileStream(strFilePath, System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read, System.IO.FileShare.Read); dataToRead = iStream.Length; //FileInfo file = new FileInfo(strFilePath); Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"; Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", iStream.Length.ToString()); Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName.Replace(" ", string.Empty)); while (dataToRead > 0) { if (Response.IsClientConnected) { length = iStream.Read(buffer, 0, 10000);..................
I created a HttpHandler for downloading files from the server. It seems it is not handling anything...I put a breakpoint in the ProcessRequest, it never goes there.
public class DownloadHandler : IHttpHandler { public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) { //download stuff and break point } }
It never stops there, as mentioned. I also registered it in the web.config.
I am not sure about the path part of that entry. What do I have to enter there? I am downloading txt files, but the URL does not contain the filename, I somehow have to pass it to the handler. How would I do this? Session maybe?
I am a very new programmer.. A website is providing a lot of zip files that i needed. It will be updated/uploaded new zip files weekly. What I need to do is write a program/script to do auto downloading from the web weekly.. for example, this is the web link
http://www.google.com/googlebooks/uspto-patents-applications-yellowbook.html ( you can see a lot of zip files there )
so my question is What script i have to write(i got no experience in writing any script, so what can you suggest?) so i can download the zip file programmatically? then how should i make it to download the new zip file uploaded weekly?Is it i have to use DOM...unix? if yes, i will do some research on tat to make it work.
