C# - How To Download File From MVC 2 Website
Mar 1, 2011
I'm currently trying to implement a controller where you can download files from (more specifically jar-archives). The files are stored on disk and not in database. So far I have come up with this:
public FilePathResult GetFile(String fileName)
{
return File(Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/Bundles"), fileName), "application/java-archive");
}
Nevermind the lack of error handling and such at this time. The file do get downloaded this way, however it gets the wrong name. Instead of, for example, "sample.jar" the file gets the controller's name, "GetFile", (without extension).

I have subscription to a website where I can login and download files. These files are secured so I cannot download them with a direct link. Is there any way that I login programmatically and download files from http to my server without any user involvement? They do not offer any API or interface to communicate with.

I'm about to submit my pad file to multiple sharware sites but the pad file has to have a direct link to the download file and can't link to a download page which is what I would like to do, so I can track the traffic and get the downloader's email before allowing the download. I am running an ASP.NET site in VB. Is there a way to tell the web app to redirect to a specific aspx page when it receives a request for a specific file?

I am downloading file from database using the following code. This code downloads an excel file from the database which has a macro attached to it when it is opened. This macro reads file name of the excel file and uses it for its computation. Everthing works file if user saves the file on his harddisk and then open if but if he directly opens the file from the dialog(by hitting 'Open' button) then file name of the opened excel file comes out be the name of the webform that has the above code and this leads to error in the macro. Is there any option through which i can control the name of the file if user directly opens the file from dialog or the option to disable or remove 'Open' button form the dialog?

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.
File.Copy(
sPath + dataReader["url"].ToString(),
Path.GetTempPath() + dataReader["url"].ToString(),
true);

I have made an application where I am displaying the .pdf , .doc , .docx files. These files are uploading from an Admin Panel.When user place a mouse pointer on download icon provided in front of every file, it shows the complete path where it’s get saved.I want to avoid this path visibility even when user place mouse on download icon and even if it Inspect an element (as most modern browser will have this functionality).

I have a simple 'file download' generic handler which sets the response contenttype and headers before sending the file through the same response.
I also have Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.server) set in the global.asax.
As I have noticed from various sources, Internet Explorer doesn't like this no-cache setting and gives an error when trying to download the file (requested site unavailable or cannot be found).
I thought maybe I could override this setting in the .ashx page, so I alter the response's cacheability setting to public. This did not solve the issue. removing the line from global.asax does solve the problem but obviously affects the whole site.
Is there a way of setting the cachability just for my generic handler?

In an ASP.NET WebForms 2.0 site we are encountering an intermittent bug in IE6 whereby a file download attempt results in the contents of the being shown directly in the browser as text, rather than the file save dialog being displayed. Our application allows the user to download both PDF and CSV files. The code we're using is:
HttpResponse response = HttpContext.Current.Response;
response.Clear();
response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename="theFilename.pdf"");
response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
response.BinaryWrite(MethodThatReturnsFileContents());
response.End();
This is called from the code-behind click event handler of a button server control. Where are we going wrong with this approach? Edit Following James' answer to this posting, the code I'm using now looks like this:
HttpResponse response = HttpContext.Current.Response;
response.ClearHeaders();
// Setting cache to NoCache was recommended, but doing so results in a security
// warning in IE6
//response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="theFilename.pdf"");
response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
response.BinaryWrite(MethodThatReturnsFileContents());
response.Flush();
response.End();
However, I don't believe that any of the changes made will fix the issue.

I'm creating an Excel file in C# on my asp.net web site. Then, I want to save this file somewhere within the web server's files, and send that file to the browser for the user to download. I've got it working on my local system in the dev environment, but I'm not getting the file addressing right. How can I store a file in "~ParentFolderSubFolderfile.ext". Then send that file to the browser for user download.
String outputFile = Utilities.writeToExcelFile("", MapPath(@"~ReportFilesTempFilesDropShipData.xls"), table);
DownloadFile(outputFile);
public void DownloadFile(string fname)
{
string path = fname;
string name = Path.GetFileName(path);
string ext = Path.GetExtension(path);
string type = "";
// set known types based on file extension
if (ext != null)
{
switch (ext.ToLower())
{
case ".htm":
case ".html":
case ".aspx":
case ".asp":
type = "text/HTML";
break;
case ".xls":
case ".xlsx":
case ".csv":
type = "Application/x-msexcel";
break;
case ".pdf":
type = "Application/pdf";
break;
case ".txt":
type = "text/plain";
break;
case ".doc":
case ".docx":
case ".rtf":
type = "Application/msword";
break;
}
}
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition",
"attachment; filename=" + name);
if (type != "")
Response.ContentType = type;
Response.WriteFile(path);
Response.End();
}
Again, this works fine on my local pc, but when I move it to the server I get an error for accessing the path. And the path listed in the error code is NOT where I want the file to go.

I've to download files from our 38 clients secure websites. They are our data resources. Currently data collection process is manual. Logon to the site, login with username and password, then download files, save to local folder, close window once download is completed. We are trying to automate download process. Plan is to handle login part with code and directly show list of filename to User with check box , so User can select files and click to save.
Rest all will be handled programtically. Once download is complete the status for that file will change to "Saved" or "Download Complete. I'm working on Window 7, VS2008(C# asp.net). Trying to make it work with WebClient class. It'll be great if you can post some source code or guide me to link or post for solution.

This should be pretty simple but I don't work on my website code too often so I thought I would ask about this. I have a download link for an application of mine on my website and I wanted to keep track of how many downloads are taking place so I want to create a counter. I added a table to the SQL database I already have on my website with the columns Downloads and CountID which is listed in the column properties as identity specification. At first I just had the column Downloads but when doing a query I was having problems so I added CountID and that made the query easy to do.
When the link on the download page on my website is clicked I wanted Downloads to increment by 1 each time. I used Visual Web Developer to build my site. Should I use a Web Method to increment that or is there a more direct method. I also noticed when I'm working in Visual Web Developer and I have the designer open for a webpage that in the toolbox items you have table and the icon looks the same as a table for an SQL Database. Should I perhaps use that? Add a table to this webpage and work with that?

I had a download task in my project, which inserts files and downloads these files. I did my table in database and have a column which has the path of file and folder in project which will have the files. I did this well and my files insert well in folder and path in database. But I could not download these files from folder with the ID of path from database
