Unable To Download A .mobi File From Server Even Though It Exists (works For Pdf And Txt)?
Jan 6, 2011
i have a site that will enable users to download an ebook file.i have successfully built architecture to enable users to download pdf and txt files, but it won't work when i try with a .mobi file, even though i know the file exists.the site works by allowig users to upload their work as .doc, .docx or .odt. once it's verified, the site publishes it as .pdf, .txt and .mobi and makes it available for download. the download code is...
string mstitle = title.ToUpper();
string dlpath = [the server path] + msid + mstitle + ".mobi";[code]....
(there are also versions with .txt and .pdf) the file definitely exists at the location in .txt, .pdf and .mobi extensions. however, the .mobi version simply won't work i get an error 404 resource not found. mystifyingly, the pdf and txt versions work perfectly.

I have a full working web site that i ported to a new hosting company. In some pages i have links to PDF on the server (they do exist!) On the old server no problem. On the new one when user clicks on the link : error 404 file does not exist.. Should i look in the web.config ? i don't know where to start

What is the way to :
1) Check if a file exists on an FTP site.
2) Sample the size of that ftp file (3) times to ensure the file is ready for downloading.
We have some classes doing this already but they are using WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails and then searching there in if file exists. I am hoping there are some clean ways to do this.

I have a website created with vs 2008 using 3.5 framework.When i do any changing int he code I used to do build website,add webdeployment,then build soultion.I go to deployment folder / release/bin/ .dll and use this file to update the previous dll file i have on the server. Now i am migrating to .net 4.0 on vs 2010. I opened my project in vs 2010 and by itself it migrated it.Then i created webdeployment. I noticed in the deployment folder i have an "obj" folder that also contains the dll file other than the one in "Release" folder.
Now what do i have to do?Can i do the same?take the dll that is under release/bin or or the one under objReleaseTempBuildDirin ? And on the server do i have to install vs 2010 so it works?or downloading .net 4.0 framework is enough?

I have a gridview with a Download button that serves a download to a user. I put it in App_Data so its secure so people can't try to download it. However, when I use this code, the save as dialog box pops up, and when i hit save as, the file immediately finishes loading - and it's just 0 bytes. The file is 5 Megabytes.

here's the code so far:
[Code]....
[Code]....
mov is a quicktime file, my server has the mimetype: video/quicktime .......... but as I read, this code forces the save as download box which is exactly what i want :) now, here's the catch, i the file I am fetching is NOT on the physical path... it is on a completely different server:Protected Sub LinkButton1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LinkButton1.Click
Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = "x-msdownload"
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", ("attachment; filename=mydownload.mov"))
Response.TransmitFile("http://myOTHERserver.com/files/mydownload.mov")
Response.End()
End Sub
Obviously this doesn't work since TransmitFile requires that the file be on your physical path, so how do i do this? Someone said you must use the stream method. Do you have any sample code I could try? I've tried the HTTPStreamReader object but it's giving me issues, so I would love to find out if there is anyway this might work. Now here's some more important information: this are HUGE video files.. we are creating a downloads page... written in asp.net -- so you create an account using the .net membership class, then you select the file you want, go through a form where you enter your billing info and then after you pay a certain fee (this is already implemented), you go to your "downlaods" area in your account... there you have access to the files......... the reason i'm doing this is because i want to hide the download link, which will be something likehttp://myOTHERserver.com/2340987sdfkjhalsdlkjh23 ... (something really crazy)....... we don't want people seeing this on the status bar (Therefore hiding the download link is ESSENTIAL)........ the files are a good 500MB each approximately; so i would love to hear all of your suggestions as to making the streamreader work for me and how long would it take for the streamreader to READ the file........

In our ASP.NET web site we have developed an aspx page that allows the user to download a file. The file path is sent as a parameter and then the file contents are read and written to the response stream. The code that we have used is the following:
string filepath = HttpContext.Current.Request.Params["FilePath"];
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + Path.GetFileName(filepath));
Response.TransmitFile(filepath);
Response.Flush();
Everything works as expected in our development environment, but when we use this piece of code in our production server, we noticed that when trying to download almost all kind of files, nothing happens in the browser. It just opens a new window for that aspx page, but then it gets closed almost inmediately. It is very weird since we have tried downloading .pdf, .doc, .xls, .txt and image files with no luck, except with some (not all) .msg files.
We have being looking for a clue sniffing the HTTP traffic that reach to the browser with Fiddler, but we have seen nothing strange. In all cases the file contents are sent to the browser with no differences, so it seems that it is the browser doesn´t show the open/save/cancel dialog. Here is a sample of the headers received in the browser with a failing file:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Proxy-Connection:
Keep-Alive Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Length: 421395 Via: 1.1
IBISA01 Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2011
12:02:54 GMT Content-Type:
application/octet-stream Server:
Microsoft-IIS/7.5 Cache-Control:
private Content-Disposition:
attachment;filename=P08-0656 Interflex
Especificación Inteface SGA ERP
Version 0.1.pdf X-AspNet-Version:
4.0.30319 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
And these are the headers of a file that can be downloaded:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Proxy-Connection:
Keep-Alive Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Length: 290816 Via: 1.1
IBISA01 Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2011
12:03:29 GMT Content-Type:
application/octet-stream Server:
Microsoft-IIS/7.5 Cache-Control:
private Content-Disposition:
attachment;filename=Acalaracion final
Fichero ascii proveedores
Interflex.msg X-AspNet-Version:
4.0.30319 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
In all cases, the full contents of the file appear after the headers with apparently no problems related to encoding. We are wondering if there is some possibility to debug or trace the Internet Explorer activity to see why is rejecting to download the files. The web server has Windows Server 2008 R2 and IIS 7.5. The browsers that we are using are IE 8.0 over Windows 7.

I am using webclient object to download a file to a windows folder from a sharepoint document library. The credentials I am passing to the webclient object are that of site collection administrator. everything works fine while i test it by uploading a file to the document library. But since the document library is email enabled; when an email is received the file is not transferred to the windows folder. i have put some workflow history events to see which user account is used when the email is received. the user account shown is the network service account. I have given write permissions on the folder to all the users; Everyone, Network service, the site collection administrator user etc. but still i cant figure out what is the problem.

I'm trying to do the following in ASP.NET (with c#):
1. On page Load, download an XML file from a different website to the IIS server, in a subdirectory of the application directory called "downloadedFiles"
I know that WebClient.DownloadFile() can download a file, but this only seems to download the file to the client's machine. I am interested in downloading it to the actual IIS server (so that it can be utilized throughout the lifetime of more than one session). Does anyone know how this could be performed?
Specifically, I'm trying to download an XML file from a website (as an example: [URL]) . How could I download that XML file onto my actual IIS server?

Is there a way I can code some vb whereby the server would download a file from a given URL from an external website elsewhere? For example, if I entered the url for the 7-Zip exe, it would then download that from SourceForge of wherever, and save it to the server.

i am downloading a file from a server and i plan to delete the file that i have downloaded on the server after it gets downloaded on the client side. My download code is working fine but i dont know when to put the command to delete the file.
string filepath = restoredFilename.ToString();
// Create New instance of FileInfo class to get the properties of the file being downloaded
FileInfo myfile = new FileInfo(filepath);
// Checking if file exists
if (myfile.Exists)
{
// Clear the content of the response
Response.ClearContent();
// Add the file name and attachment, which will force the open/cancel/save dialog box to show, to the header
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + myfile.Name);
//Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=" + myfile.Name);
// Add the file size into the response header
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", myfile.Length.ToString());
// Set the ContentType
Response.ContentType = ReturnExtension(myfile.Extension.ToLower());
//// Write the file into the response (TransmitFile is for ASP.NET 2.0. In ASP.NET 1.1 you have to use WriteFile instead)
Response.TransmitFile(myfile.FullName);
// End the response
Response.End();
}
Now i know the response.End() will stop every thing and return the value, so is there another way too do so. I need to call a function
DeleteRestoredFileForGUI(restoredFilename);
to delete the file but dont know where to put it.. i tried putting before and after Response.End() but it does not work.

I am having an issue downloading files that I have store in SQL Server. I have no problem in a WinForm. What am I doing wrong in my code?
[Code]....
I have a window open from another page because I was having an issue doing this while the page was ajaxified. The FileData part of the code is a structure that holds a memorystream and 2 strings and they are returning proper values. The window opens up and then closes almost immediately when the page loads.
