After upload a pdf file (order.pdf) to remote server in UNC format, I used code below to open order.pdf file.Code is working in IE9 but not Chrome.Is there another way to open pdf file in remote server?
Dim fullpath As String = [String].Format("file:///{0}", "webserverorderorder.pdf")
Response.Redirect(fullpath)
This is what I have right now for a file residing on the same server and it works.
Dim FILENAME as String = Server.MapPath("Output.txt")
Dim objStreamWriter as StreamWriter
objStreamWriter = File.CreateText(FILENAME)
dr = myCommand.ExecuteReader()
While dr.Read()
objStreamWriter.WriteLine("{0}|{1}|{2:yyyy-MM-dd}|{3:yyyy-MM-dd}", dr(0), dr(1), dr(2), dr(3))
End While
objStreamWriter.Close()
I was planning on FTPing the file to another server once done but is there a way to do it on a remote server? i.e create a text file on a remote server and write to it? Did not find any instances of that usage. How to use ServerXMLHTTP to replace Server.MapPath in this instance?
How to read/open a pdf file from web site existing on remote file share?
View 7 RepliesI'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:

I tried this code by inputting the ftp address as ftp//: and the correct username and password and I get the following error
"Unable to connect to the remote server" on line :
FtpWebResponse Response = (FtpWebResponse)Request.GetResponse();I tired this on my ftp server provided by a hosting service and an anonymous ftp located at 193.166.120.5 ?
Note: I was able to connect to both of these ftp through filezilla, via a webbrowser, and through windows command line.
filetoread = Server.MapPath("\servernamesharefile.csv")
filestream = File.OpenText(filetoread)
readcontents = filestream.ReadToEnd()
It works fine if I put the file in the local directory and use "filetoread = Server.MapPath("file.csv")", but won't do it over the UNC path.I'm guessing the problem is security related but can't find any info related to it, do I need to somehow specify a username/password somewhere ?

When i try to open a csv file from my asp.net 3.5 app by clicking on the link provided, a file download dialog box appears.When i click on the open button from there , i get this eror
C:Documents and settingsUserNameLocal SettingsTemporary Internet FilesContent.IE5X9TXTM06myfilename.csv could not be found .Check the spelling of the file name and verify that the file locationis correct?
Wjy am i getting this error? I am trying to open a file and it complains about file not found in the Temporary Internet Folder.I tried deleting the temp intrnet files.Dint work.I have IE 7 on xp professional sp3. Also i am streaming the file from the application. This happens only to some files and the rest of the files , i can open .
I have an interesting challenge. My application uses a third party's services and one of the functions is to upload video files to Amazon S3. The current solution I've implemented uses a simple form with a POST action set to a URL on Amazon's system. The
issue I have is that because the form posts to Amazon, I have no way of doing any type validations before the user clicks to upload the file i.e. checking file type, file size, etc.
However, I really do NOT want to set up my logic so that the file is first uploaded to my server then to Amazon because these are huge files and we'll end up using costly bandwidth on both ends -- our server and Amazon S3.
P.S. To be perfectly honest, I'm not that pleased with the current solution where it's a simple HTML form with a simple post to Amazon. However, because Amazon is so picky about all the hidden fields in my asp.net page, I had to strip everything off the
page -- including form runat"server" because the minute I have this, I end up with a hidden field for ViewState -- even if I completely turn off ViewState. There's always something left as a hidden field and Amazon was generating an error because of this.
Ideally, I'd love to be able to do an HttpWebRequest in code behind so that I can have the functions of a web form back and do some pre-upload work but I'm not sure how to upload the file to a remote destination without putting the file on my server first.
I'm using an .ashx handler to retrieve an image file... It queries a local database, which retrieves the URL of an image which is hosted on Amazon S3.
But I can't use context.response.write(AmazonS3URL) because it returns the error '...is not a virtual path'.
Can context.response.write only return files that are on the local machine? Or is there another function to call remote files?

How to open pdf file in file server in asp.net?
For example, open file
ordermyorderorder.pdf
I had this one working a while back i try to upload file to my root folder it works locally but when i try it from my website i get the following error: exception details: system.bet .webexception. unable to connect to the remote server
the code bomb at the following line
requestStream = uploadRequest.GetRequestStream() 'This is where the exception occurs
fileStream = File.Open(localFile, FileMode.Open)
[code]....
this is my problem:
I have a link to Open a file (I have found this way cause with a simple link it would have been marked "readonly")
<a href="../DownloadFile.aspx?file=test.xls"> Open file
</a>
The code in the .aspx page permit to download the file with the header
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition",
"attachment; filename=" & file.Name)
So when the user click the link he is prompted wiht a Message box saying:
Open Save
The user click Open...modify the excel cells... but when he wants Save the file (from Excel menu) is saved on a temporary folder on the client pc and not on the server.
Is it possible to save the file directly on the server or not?
Ps. The "real" problem might be that when the user click "Open" in the prompt tha file is first downloaded in the temp folder and then presented to the user
I'm getting tired figuring out this error. Well, Basically. I have uploaded my ASP.net website to a server (IIS installed) as well as the VB project I made.
BOTH are connecting to a DB named CLIENTS.
the website uses a datagrid to show data, while the VB Project updates the DB based on a monitored folder.
The Problem is If the website is opened first the VB project shows an error "Unable to open the physical file (MDF). Operating system error 32 (error not found)" and Vice Versa if the VB project is first started.
In my asp.net application I create pdf file and save it in App_Data folder on server. Next I want to open this file that user can print it.
How to open this file in browser ? Send it in http header etc ? Someone have some examples?
