downloading files from an FTP server. The FTP server produces new files from time to time. so my application needs to Download only the "NEW" files and disregard what i have already downloaded previously. I have a time stamp on when was the last download time. I Using FtpWebRequest, WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectory, WebRequestMethods.Ftp.GetDateTimestamp. The problem is the ListDirectory gives me all the List in the FTP directory and i have to loop all the way down starting again from the start to the last file and check it with my last time stamp to DL the NEW files another problem is the FTP Directory contains 30,000 Files so it would take long until ill find the my last download time to start again on that point..
I want to enable the users of my website to download the files from the server, but I can do it only with those files which are inside the website's folder(by creating hyperlinks to those files).
How to enable the users to download files from server which are not in the website's folder but somewhere else on the server.
For a church website I'm managing, there is a need to place audio files (sermons) on the website. There will be two categories of audio files; one will be a sample size of the audio file, around 5 minutes in length. The other will be the full-length of the sermon (30-50 +/- minutes).
I have decided the best setup would be to place the audio files on the server. I would then store the audio information, as well as the path to the audio file, in a database. I had thought about placing the audio files in the database as a BLOB, but it seemed inefficient. My concern, is with tools like Mozillza plug-in "Download Helper" , it is so easy to simply grab the media files off the server. This would not be a big deal, except we want to sell the full-length audio files. I am running ASP.NET 3.5 on IIS 7.
I was just wondering what the best approach would be for uploading/downloading files. My users want to have the ability to upload and download emails to various Orders but i'm not sure of a few things.
Would I need a new table and reference it to my Orders table? Or would I need to create a new table and add columns such as file location, and upload the files to a particular server? Also since I am working on a Windows machine, i'm not really sure how to connect to my server to allow me to upload/download files (not sure if that makes sense).
There are three serves on the same zone. 172..*.**
Suppose that their names are A,B and C
The server A has a windows service, and it downloads the files from the server of C, in the folder of images. It used to give errors about access-denied then we assign full control to everyone on the folder of images on the server C. Then it was ok.
Now the same windows service runs on the server B, and ,t gets the same things from images folder of the server C. But there is an error about access-denied.
What should I do for the required steps to make the server B be able to connect the server C and download the files?
**The error: Exception:Access to the path '172..*.images' is denied.

The majority of files in the Temporary ASP.NET File folder for a given application get deleted by ASP.NET following compilation -- .DLL and .PDB files amongst others remain.
Our compiler produces proprietary debug information files which are amongst those that get deleted.
Marking the files read-only prevents this but are there other options available?
I have a PDF file in a subfolder from my root, and I do not want people to be able to enter the url directly into their browser and be able to open the file. I have tried:
[Code]....
That didn't work though. Basically, any request to ~/Downloads/file.pdf should not be allowed, and should redirect the request to a custom error page that I created.
I am using VSTS 2008 + C# + .Net 3.5 + Silverlight 3.0 + ASP.Net to develop a Silverlight application (a video media player) in browser and the function is simple, just use MediaElement to play a remote video file.The remote server is Windows Server 2008 + IIS 7.0 + IIS Media Bit Rate Throttling Control.Since the request media URL can be discovered (e.g. from traffic sniffer), and I want to know how to prevent from download directly from the Url? i.e. I want end user to use my Silverlight media player application in browser to play the file, prevent them from download to local directly. Any easy and quick solution or reference code/documents?
I'm working on a website where I need to prevent the direct linking to a few pdf files. I'm using ASP.net 2.0. Is there an easy way in code to do this? or some simple IIS setting?
Right now i'm just using a standard anchor tag to link to the files. i can validate the user on the page containing the anchor tag but that still doesn't stop the user from nabbing the url and passing it on to someone else.
When I publish my Asp.Net MVC website to the production server (via VS2008), the web.config & castle.xml files are overwritten. The content of these files is obviously different between my local dev environment and the production server.How do I prevent these files from being published?
I am making a small file hosting website, and each user can upload multiple files, and will have access to just his files and can't access others files, for example by guessing the URL. Is there a way to secure files to have access by just the owner and no body else "may be website administrator also will have access"
Having to deal with URL rewriting, I decided to programmatically add CSS references rather than relying on the automatic behavior of ASP.NET to add all CSS files within a theme automatically to the <head> of an ASPX page.I suceeded in adding the CSS file programmatically by using
and setting the actual URL it in code behind.My question is:Is there a way to prevent the ASP.NET "engine" from automatically adding all CSS files into the <head> of my ASPX/master page?(Of course, I still could go with my own folders and completely drop the App_Themes concept)
I have a custom config file in my application say my.config. Suddenly I ecnountered with some error regarding one of the settings inside the config file and the strange thing happens- my content of the config file get's rendered in the browser in the form of error. This is a big security issue for me. My question is how to prevent the content of my config files from rendering in the browser. Note I have already this setting in my web config:
I have a web based application, asp.net with vb.net. However, i have different files with different extension such as .CSV and .RTF, and the clients need to download these files in regularly bases
