Web Forms :: Upload A File To A Remote Destination Without First Uploading It To Server
Jun 13, 2010
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 use to upload a photo to a server this piece of code:
uplTheFile.PostedFile.SaveAs(Path);
But the Path can't be relative (like ~\Photos\image.jpg) .
I was thinking of getting the location of the .aspx file from where i upload the image and attach \Photos\image.jpg to it, but i don't know how to get the address (location ) of my .aspx page on the server .

I'd like to allow users to upload a .pdf file via the file upload control (if that's the best method), save the file to the db and then retrieve it so they can click on a link and open the .pdf they've uploaded. I've been looking for a tutorial on how to do this but keep running into methods of saving the file directly on the server in a directory, not in SQL server (using Linq and VB by the way)

I've dug around in the SDK and managed to connect to my instance of S3, go into my bucket and create an empty file, but can't figure out how to take a file from my computer and upload it. If I have dragged a file upload control onto the designer surface how do I set the properties for it in the code behind?(If I absolutely need to have a 3rd party uploader which should I use). Here is the code I have so far.
static string bucketName = "myBucket";
static string keyName = "sampleKey";
static AmazonS3 client;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string accessKeyID = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AWSAccessKey"];
string secretAccessKeyID = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AWSSecretKey"];
using (client = Amazon.AWSClientFactory.CreateAmazonS3Client(accessKeyID, secretAccessKeyID))
{
// simple object put
PutObjectRequest request = new PutObjectRequest();
request.WithContentBody("this is a test")
.WithBucketName(bucketName)
.WithKey(keyName);
S3Response response = client.PutObject(request);
response.Dispose();
// put a more complex object with some metadata and http headers.
PutObjectRequest titledRequest = new PutObjectRequest();
titledRequest.WithMetaData("title", "the title")
.WithContentBody("this object has a title")
.WithBucketName(bucketName)
.WithKey(keyName);
using (S3Response responseWithMetadata = client.PutObject(request))
{
WebHeaderCollection headers = response.Headers;
foreach (string key in headers.Keys)
{
Console.WriteLine("Response Header: {0}, Value: {1}", key, headers.Get(key));
}
}
}
}

I have programmed a script to upload image files from users computer to my server. It works fine for up to about 4MB files, larger have the 'connection reset' error which I believe can be resolved easily in the web.config file.
Anyway, I would like to show a status bar to tell the user how much of the file has been uploaded so they don't try repeatedly clicking upload button thinking nothings working -

Uploading file using upload control resulted in access denied
does not have write access to 'C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Temporary ASP.NET Files'.
I gave the access to that particular user using web config :
<identity impersonate="true" userName="username" password="password"/>
but then that resulted in the above error. My intension is to upload the file for a perticulr folder.
I know the path.
I am not able to grant the persmission for the folder from control panel. Is there any work around.

I have a page which uploads a file from server A to server B. The user first uploads the file to server A, where it's saved into a diretory, then once the file is safely stored there, I'm transferring it to a second server, server B, using the following code:
[code]....
So, in summary, the only difference I can see between the working case and the non-working case is the server that'ssending the file.

we have windows xp operating system, here we installed my website that will be stored in the location(c://programFiles/) if we run the sample after executing ouputfile(scan.pdf)image file will be stored in C://inetpubs/ftproot/(if file transfer type is FTP). if file transfer type is HTTP then the image file is transfered to the location:c://programFiles/website1/app-data. If we install the same website in windows 2007 64 bit os website will be stored at c://programfile x(86)/. if we run the sample through ftp it is running fine and file is stored at FTP folder. but if we run the same application through HTTP, file is not transferring to destination folder(c://programFiles x(86)/website1/app-data.)

I have two folders in my asp.net web application in which I create new folders programmaticaly. The entire solution is under VSS source control. I was not able to manipulate these two folders programmably. For that, I gave {MACHINE}ASPNET user account full control over these two folders. Still, the "access denied to the path" error was coming. I saw that these entire folders were marked readonly. I tried to uncheck Readonly from explorer but not successfull, readonly check does not get removed. Also, if I copy files using method, the destinationn copied file becomes readonly. I have also tried File.SetAttributes (path,FileAttributes.Normal); but no success. How can I make the copied file not READONLY?
