How To Collect All File Names From Remote Server In C#
Oct 18, 2010
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 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 a folder with 200+ pictures. I want to get the names of each of the pictures to the database. would it be easier to import and export the images into the database (I want my webpage to be able to show the images once they are in the database)?
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 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.
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)
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 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.
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.
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?
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)
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 am downloading file from remote server in page load using content disposition. After downloading the file i am trying show some other controls in the page. But that controls are showing asp.net .
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]....
I am planning to create a web page with the name of the student, course,pic and the resume to be uploaded by the user for specified students...
If I upload the resumes of students with same name how to differentiate. Looking for creating a name of the file name randomly as next I'm planning to retrieve the resume via search function to download and view the resumes....
Saving the resumes with same name with differentiate or randomly to save the files with new file name....
I have been looking for a pretty simple setup for listing files in a directory. I found one, pretty straight forward and works in listing the files. But now i need to modify the code a bit to accomplish 2 things..#1 i need to enable the file names to be links to the file. Currently i have it linked, but points to the server file structure and not the website structure, by this i mean that when you mouse over a file, the link looks like this (file:///c:/inetpub/wwwroot/images/icons/current.gif ) and i need it to look like this ( www.site.com/images/icons/current.gif )#2 Currently for my test page, i have the path setup like this: DirectoryInfo dirInfo = newDirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath(@"imagesicons"));Is there anyway to get the current path for that page, so i dont have to hard code the directory for each page i need this setup on? Also, how can i update the part for the file types to display, i need to display 3 different types, so notsure how to update that line either.Here is the ASPX and Code behind i have setup.
I have been working with this database for some time. Here is the situation...
I inherited a MS SQL database that has hundreds of tables with similar data. For instance:
FordTampa_customer is a table,
ChevyAtlanta_customer is a table, etc....
All of the columns are the same...just different tables with their own ID field. All I have done...Inside of another database id is created a table called 'Customer' and added an 'Dealer ID' column along with the rest of the other columns in the other tables...
So the combination of the 'Dealer ID' and the 'ID' field are unique.....I know...its not the best way to do things...but I cannot change the old data structure because I cannot have access to it. I am give back-ups on a weekly basis, so this is all I have to work with.
All right, on to the real point of my post...
Currently, I have an application that I use to select all of the data from the 'Ford_customers','Chevy_customers',etc... and inserts them into my new main 'Customer' table. I do this by selecting the table names, bind it to an arraylist, loop through the list and execute an insert statement.
I do this in VB.NET, but I would prefer to do it in a Stored procedure of some kind....I just am not sure how to accomplish it. I use this syntax to get my list of tables:
[Code]....
I am not sure how to take those names from the table and do another select based on that list of names.
I've got a script below that uploads multiple files and works fine. I am trying to rename them as I upload them and I'm having some trouble figuring it out.
