Ftp - How To Open A Remote Text File Using Server.MapPath
Mar 21, 2010
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?
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)
What is the difference between those two? If I only want to retrieve the absoluate path to an image on web server, is Server.MapPath safer in any case? I'm using Page.MapPath right now, but it won't work if control was created in WebService since control.Page property become null? Whether Server.MapPath always work?
I'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.
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.
Currently we are saving files (PDF, DOC) into the database as BLOB fields. I would like to be able to retrieve the raw text of the file to be able to manipulate it for hit-highlighting and other functions.Does anyone know of a simple way to either parse out the files and save the raw text on save, either via SQL or .net code. I have found that Adobe has a filtdump utility that will convert the PDF to text. Filtdump seems to be a command line tool, and i don't see a way to use a file stream. And what would the extractor be for Office documents and other file types?-or-Is there a way to pull out the raw text from the SQL Full text index, without using 3rd party filters?Note i am trying to build a .net & MSSql solution without having to use a third party tool such as Lucene
Does anyone knows why HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath within a server control works when I run the server control but gives and error whilst in Design mode?
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 ?
I have many images on remote server say [URL] & i want to access file names of all files that resides in the folder 222 on [URL]
i have tried following code but getting error "virtual path is not valid" :
imageserver = http://images.foo.com/222; DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(imageserver); // line giving exception FileInfo[] rgFiles = di.GetFiles(); string simagename = ""; if (rgFiles.Count() > 0) { foreach (FileInfo fi in rgFiles) { //collect each filename from here } }
I have an asp.net website that needs to connect to a dBase file on a remote server. The remote server has a ODBC System DSN connection configured but I have no idea how to connect to it.
i have an aspx page that loads and displays a text file in a broswer window and it used to work, I made no changes to it and now testing shows additional content appended below the file.
Here is the text file:
testing...
Here is what is displayed:
[Code]....
The additional output looks like the aspx page itself, which has only a close button incase the file load fails.
I'm using a log file to document info while getting and processing info from a form
1. if not post back, open the log file, build page, send form. 2. get submit back from form, possible post back if errors, possible writes to log file, if no errors definitely writes to log file, and send confirm page. 3. postback from confirm page can either be going back to form or finalizing, and send acknowledge page, then done.
so I need to keep the logfile object between direct postbacks to the form, or posting back to orignal form page after gettting a postback from a confirm page.
this type of file setup works fine, it creates a single log file per day:
[Code]....
then successive writes are like this:
[Code]....
when the form submit comes back from the original send/submit, lf from above is 'nothing'
saw the post about 9 ways to maintain state, not sure at all which would be most appropriate to keep the lf object accessible between possible postbacks and submits to the form.
On remote server i have shared folder. If there any way to download file from this shared folder on local machine? Without using ftp. Server dont have iis or something like this,just have shared folder.
What I am doing seems to be saving the Excel file in a text format. All I am trying to do is save the Excel file (xls) on my web server. Below is the code that "fetches" it now but doesn't save it in the proper format.
I have a simple Upload method that send the file to the FTP server, if the file name is already exist, i will overwrite the existing file in the server. This method is working fine.
[Code]....
I'm just wondering how would i be able to change the filename ( originalFileName+timeStamp) during the process of uploading to avoid overwriting of files? I did try changing the method property of WebRequestMethod to
[Code]....
But I'm getting an error
The remote server returned an error: (550) File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
<% 'load the XML file.. Option Explicit Response.Buffer = True Dim xml Set xml = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM") xml.async = False xml.load (Server.MapPath("\ilife104 eamdiskSharedIntegrationSystemdevDataprcImportFactSetFeedsfileList.xml")) Dim name, retrieved name = xml.documentElement.childNodes(0).text retrieved = xml.documentElement.childNodes(2).text Set xml = Nothing %>
It gives the error:
Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0174 : 80004005' Invalid Path Character(s) /ITWeb/Interfaces/je/index.asp, line 9 An invalid '/' or '' was found in the Path parameter for the MapPath method.
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.
