MVC :: Download To A User Specified Folder?
Mar 31, 2011
Im developing a web app using MVC, for part of my app the user clicks a link which causes a file to be generated server side and then downloaded to the clients local machine. I can do this by returning a FilePathResult form the controller but the file will only download to the browsers default download folder.Is there a way I can force this file to download to a diferent folder?Preferably I would like to add a set folder location in the application settings (the app will run on an intranet, with all machines setup exaclty the same, so the folder location not existing is not a problem). If this is not possible then I would at least like to display a dialog on the client where they can select the location to download the file too.

I am working with Microsoft web developer 2008 Express (asp.net) and coding in VB.
I have coded a routine that creates a series of excel files in a folder called "SaveExcelFiles". This routine works fine. What I now want to do is to create a routine that will let my user download (copy) the entire folder to his PC. I do not want to have the user have to download each excel file separately if this can be avoided. Also I would like to have a routine that deletes all of the excel files in the folder.

I am creating a website (asp.net) that lets users upload some files to the server (only registered users can upload). All the files uploaded by a particular user are stored in one folder on the server. Now, the website will also have a search capability. anybody browsing the website can see what all files are uploaded by a user "x" and choose to download them. Lets say user "X" uploaded 100 files.On the server side, i have code that will fetch all the 100 files and stream the files one by one in loop to the user. I have:Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + file.Name)that would prompt user for the location to save the file on their disk. For 100 files, user would be prompted 100 times.I would like to prompt the user only once for save/open/close dialog, cache (or somehow get that location) the location to which the user is storing the files to save the rest of the files to that location with prompting user again and again.

I have an webapp which dynamically generates a file and stores it on the server. When a user comes along, this file is served, after which it gets deleted. Each user gets their own generated file after which it becomes useless.Is there a way to know if the user managed to download the file fully, so that it may be deleted and not clogging up my server with outdated files?At the moment the problem is a user is clicking "Download file" then it being cancelled or failed, so they try again but its been deleted.

I have a folder on my web server that has hundreds of mp3 files in it. I would like to provide the option for a user to download a zipped archive of every mp3 in the directory from a web page.
I want to compress the files programmatically only when needed. Because the zip file will be quite large, I am thinking that I will need to send the zip file to the response stream as it is being zipped, for performance reasons.

I am a newbie of asp.net.
The environment is .net 3.5 and C#.
There are files stored in sql server (datatype of column is varbinary in the database).
each record is in one record in that table (FILE_TABLE).
And there is another table (PATH_TABLE) to store the files paths.
for example,
when the user download the folder A (select an item on the tree and click a button on the client side),
there is one sub-folder B and two files A-1 and A-2.
in folder B, there is two files B-1 and B-2.
then, at the code behind (server), the server will get the files from the database and convert them (including the files and subfolders) to a .zip file (or other compressed files)
and then write a response (using the method HttpResponse.BinaryWrite(Byte[] xxx) )
to client side and let the user download.
after the download, the user can extract the compressed file and the structure of the folders and files keep unchanged.
