I have a server application that runs in a hosted environment but creates print jobs in the client's local network (behind NAT; the mechanics of this is not relevant).
In order to send the print job to the printer that is attached to the workstation, I need to identify the workstation. The users move around between workstations, so I can't permanently associate a user with a workstation/printer. The trivial solution is to require the user to identify the machine he is logging in from, for instance by selecting from a list, but that's an inconvenience and subject to user error.
Options I have eliminated:
Host header variables (nothing identifiable is sent) Cookies, in support of a user selection. This somewhat addresses the potential for user error, but not really. HTML5 DOM Storage - is not supported by the client's browser
Edit: I do have the option of puttnig this particular function (create a print job) into a thick client app. The app can then of course be configured and the problem goes away. But the user experience will suffer from having to switch between the browser and a Windows app.
I have a web application which is supposed to create a file on clients local mcahine as the user is not having permissions to create a file on the server on which the web application is running.Can anyone please help me with this.I came across some posts stating that it is not a security measure to create a file on clients machine, but in my case I am left with no options.

When calling Response.Cookie.Add(new HttpCookie("MyCookie", "objValue")); where does the cookie saved? on Client Machine or Server Machine?
EDIT:if saved in Client Machine, how can I read it from javascript then? I tried this kind of script.
function getCookie(c_name) {
var i, x, y, ARRcookies = document.cookie.split(";");
for (i = 0; i < ARRcookies.length; i++) {

I cannot get the cookie that I saved from code behind. When I look into the document.cookie object, it is just an empty string.

I'm looking into a ASP.Net project for a friend who has a client at the moment. I just want to make sure that I can log onto her client's machine where they host their site, I'm working from home and not on their domain.
If I can't log in using the account info they gave me, is it possible that they can limit FTP access from outside IPs? Just a question in case I have a problem then I can suggest a solution. "Hey friend, I tried to log in, but the service denied me probably because your client has to include from my outside IP. My IP address is ....." or something like that.

View 3 Repliese are developing an ASP.Net application. The requirement is to install and run an app (say console app developed using .Net) on the client machine through out ASP.Net application. How can we install this app (and .Net Framework required to run the app) when the user access our web app
View 2 RepliesI have written a console application which will map a volume as disk to a client machine and then Initializes, formats and assigns a drive letter.
Now i want to achieve the same through a web site. This is going to be a Internal site.Right now i can do this by executing the exe with a pop up from the website to run.
But i want to do the same operation as if it is a simple button click on the website after the user fills in the requirements like size,drive letter. I dont want to have any security pop ups.
Is there a way that i can do disk operations with out having security pop ups on end user machines?

View 1 RepliesI'm working on a project that has a C# app (running 24/7 as a server) on the client's machine). This app needs to send a file as a byte stream via POST to a server I am currently hosting on my home desktop.
Can this file be received by a C# app running on my server, or does it have to be as ASP app/page?
Also, I know how to send a bytestream via POST, but how will I set my server side app to listen for this incoming data? I have never done something like this, so I'm looking for some pointers to get me started.
how can I get the private ip of client system from a website hosted on public ip in ASP.Net C#? while i am checking userhostname, it's showing the global IP of the Internet connectivity which is the same for all the machines in the network.
