Web Forms :: File Copy From Local Machine To Web Server
Mar 9, 2013
I am attempting to write an asp.net application that copies any file from the user's local machine to another server on the same network.
The Catch
The server that will house the application is separate from the server that will receive the files from the local user's machine. In other words, to do the file copy the user will have to access the application on one server via IIS and within the application it must place that file on another server. Further, these servers while on the same network cannot physically see each other.
In addition, the users of the application are connected Anonymously (Anonymous Authentication)
2. I have PC, on which file to copy to device is located, with Active Sync installed and IE running which has a page in that IE has rendered by server #1.
3. I have a DEVICE connected to desktop #2 via AS.
I would like to copy file from a local machine to the device which is connected to this machine. My application is located in a webserver.
In our application, we allow user to upload documents which can be PDF, Doc, XLS, TXT. Uploaded documents will be saved on web server. We need to display link for each document user uploaded and when user click on that link, it should open relevant document. it is expected to have required software to open relevant documents.
To upload document, we use saveAs method of FileUpload control and it works absolutely fine.Now, how to view it?I believe, i need to copy/download file to local user machine and need to open it using Process.Start.For that i need to find user local temp directory. if i put path.GetTempPath(), it gives me web server directory and copy file there.
i have a .JPG file in my local machine which has to be sent as body of SMTP mail.Path of image D://foldername//imagename.jpg The code I run is in the server mc. I want it to access my local machine's d: folder to get the image file. But it is accessing the server mc's d: folder. How can this be done?
I have created a CSV file on the server and want to send it to the user using the following code:
Dim strPhysicalPath As String strPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath( "CSV/" & PathVirtual) Dim objFileInfo As System.IO.FileInfo = New System.IO.FileInfo(strPhysicalPath) Response.Clear() Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & objFileInfo.Name) Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", objFileInfo.Length.ToString()) Response.WriteFile(strPhysicalPath) Response.Flush() Response.End()
This seems to work fine except when the downloaded file is viewed in Excell the html code behind the page from which it came is also appended to the file. Does anyone have any idea why it does this?
I have had a real nightmare with Server.MapPath(). When I call Server.MapPath("~") in my application that is running in ASP.NET Development Server it returns root directory that ends in a back slash like f:projectsapp1, but I call it in published version, installed in IIS, it returns root directory without any back slash like c:inetpubwwwrootapp1.
string mainRoot = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~"); DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(mainRoot); //added to solve this problem with Server.MapPath if (!mainRoot.EndsWith(@"")) mainRoot += @""; FileInfo[] files = di.GetFiles("*.aspx"); foreach (FileInfo item in files) { string path = item.FullName.Replace(mainRoot, "~/").Replace(@"", "/"); //do more here }
I basically want to transfer a file from the client to the file storage server without actual login to the server so that the client cannot access the storage location on the server directly. I can do this only if i manually login to the storage server through windows login. I dont want to do that. This is a Web-Based Application.
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { filePath = FileUpload1.FileName; try { WebClient client = new WebClient(); NetworkCredential nc = new NetworkCredential(uName, password); Uri addy = new Uri("\\192.168.1.3\upload\"); [code]...
How do I get the smtp server address for the local machine? I want to my email address on a windows form and have the user send me an email and I need to be able to get their smtp server address programatically to do this. I tried this:
System.Net.Mail. SmtpClient smtpc = new SmtpClient("127.0.0.1"); smtpc.Send(email);
my projects image files hosts on a local server machine which name is A.
another server hosts my web projects on IIS which name is B.
I want to set my web projects's image file names like image1.ImageURL = "A\foldername\image.png";
but when the projects runs the image file url gets the image url adrress : [URl] I must access the image files which are another server machine on my local network area and I must get the ImageUrl properties from another server machine
I want to copy a database on a development server to my local server. I am not the server administrator but I have rights to the database. Soon after the wizard Executes the SQL Server Agent Job it fails and the error message says:
The job failed. Check the event log on the destination server for details.
Where do I find this log? Also what could be the problem?
There's a project I'm doing now which is an ASP.net 2.0 written website with SQL database. (it was just assigned to me for deployment and no contact to programmer who is AWOL :-)
Scope of project is to move everything from live site to local server and display/execute exactly the way it does on the livesite (web).
Already configured Windows 2003 server as IIS and successfully restored the database through SQL 2008.
Since I am new to ASP.net deployment this is where my trouble starts: manually copied httpdocs folder to local server, copy website through MS web developer and tried to run it on local machine http://127.0.x.x/default.aspx for the home page. from there I am getting a server error log specifically the line " <configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">"
I know I have some work to do in here I do want to call the attention of ghw123 since he
is familiar with the dynamics of IIS and moving websites. Another thing I would like to point is the local server doesn't display any IP address when running ipconfig or ping from command prompt i simply pull out the ip info from the running IIS service itself. Lastly, I need to figure out which file/folders are really running on the livesite since there are lots of them (for other purpose maybe) on the remote server it is hosted.
With the project I'm working right now, the team and I don't believe the network/computer policies will allow us to create and save Excel files on a local machine through the Web pages we're building. Well, let me clarify. When we run our web pages on our development machines, when we go to save information to excel through the web page, it uses our local excel executable. However, we want it to use the web server's excel executable. When we run the website, we're running individual local copies because we don't have a web server to test on, so we can't verify if it will use the Web Server's or ours. Does anyone know what it will do, or if it has to be programmatically set a specific way to use excel on the web server, and not on the local machine. Once we get the Web Server to use excel, we'd save the file to a network share that would allow the user to view the file.
im trying to transfer my database from local machine to server, im using the publish to provider wizard in visual web developer to generate a scrip, im then using the generated script on the serever database.
I'm new to ASP.NET (only been learning 6 months at college) and have set up a login page with a loginview, login name and login status. The pages work fine on my local machine I can login logout and see the user name etc..But when I upload this to my home testing server the domain name shows up http://mysite/rootfolder/login.aspx, this should read http://mysite/login.aspx. I've set the DestinationPageUrl as both a direct link and ~/admin.aspx and /admin.aspx
i developed an asp.net web site and i used ModuleRewriter to rename my pages you can refer to this link [URL] and i want to add many pages programatically at run time for example i have a page named :
[URL]styles/defaultstyle/Default.aspx
and i want to display this page like this :
[URL]Default.aspx
so my code was like this :
public static void confgrewriter() { try { RewriterRuleCollection rules = RewriterConfiguration.GetConfig().Rules; RewriterRule r = new RewriterRule(); r.LookFor ="~/Dfealut.aspx" ; r.SendTo ="~/styles/defaultstyle/Default.aspx"; rules.Add(r); } catch (Exception ex) { } }
and this solution is working very good on iis at my local machine but when i did upload this website on shared host i recive error message: The resource cannot be found.
Description:
HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
I have html editor on page, ajax 3.5. I can save Editor.Content to xml file without problem, after I publish to server machine, It refused to work for me.
my page directive set to ValidateRequest = false and EnableEvenValidate = false and AutoEventWireUp = false, no UpdatePanel used around Editor and update button. on code behind which is button click event.
Dim docInfo.Load(Server.MapPath(xmlInfoFilePath)) docInfo As New System.Xml.XmlDocument() Dim ndInfo As System.Xml.XmlNode ndInfo = docInfo.SelectSingleNode("/info/business[@user='" & User.Identity.Name & "']") If ndInfo IsNot Nothing Then ndInfo.Attributes("description").Value = Editor.Content docInfo.Save(Server.MapPath(xmlInfoFilePath)) End If docInfo = Nothing
This button click generate an error on server side. I guess the problem Editor.Content have hidden tags, the server refuse to accept, but what is real problem.
On one of my pages I display a datetime (from a database) and it is formatted correctly as a UK date time (dd-mm-yyyy) on my local machine. However when I deploy it to a server it reverts to American format (mm-dd-yyyy). Does anyone have any idea of when this might be happening?This might be outside the scope of stackoverflow
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.
I have deployed my site in Win 2003 server. In this, it copies file from Another server and copies it in local. It is working with my local computer, but not in the server i have deployed. I hope access credentials may be the first reason. But are there any other reasons for this.
