I'm looking for a way to (easily, by preference ;)) create a download link to a file on a separate file server.The situation is as follows: the application I'm developing (asp.net 2.0 in vb.net but I have a similar issue in c#, either solution works for me) will be run internally for a company.As is good practice, the file storage and web application are on two separate servers.I basically need to be able to create a download link to a file, the only available URL i have to access the file is servernamefolder1folder2folder3file.txt (can be any sort of file)[code]Which doesn't work for obvious reasons. It used to be set up to write that file to the application path itself and that worked perfectly, but it isn't good practice and that's why I'm changing it (or trying to).I read solutions about creating a download page and then having a table in your DB which holds the links and returns the proper web URL for download but the time constraint I am faced with unfortunately doesn't allow me to develop that.
Assuming I can provide a string with the full filepath to the file like the above, what is the easiest way to just create a link that, when clicked, downloads the document? I have 0 admin rights in this environment. That really isn't helping me. Let's assume I am given the correct link like above and have the appropriate file access rights and such.The above example does work in IE, but not in Firefox and Chrome. IE converts it to a file://servername/... link which does what it's supposed to, but FF and Chrome both actively decided that this is unsafe and have disabled it from their browsers.
I recently set up an apache server in a small computer (its an ALIX board) and i need to download some files that are going to be stored in that machine. The web server is running and I can create a file called "moo.txt" and if i go to the web browser I can see its contents Now, I need to create a vb.net application to communicate with this machine and download that file So far I have tried the following
Code:
Imports System.Net
Imports System.IO

How I Can Download The File Into The Server To Client System In Vb.Net Appliction
View 1 RepliesI have a database table where the user marks files to be downloaded. Subsequently, I browse this table and need to create a fileList to pass to an ActiveX downloader. My routine works locally and on the server for ONLY the first file. I know my logic must be bad, but I cannot find it. All of these files are always in the same server directory which is as follows:
"D:inetpubvhostsWebSite.comsessionVideos"
Sub (GetFileList)
Dim dtVideosSelected As New DataTable

Would it be something like this
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("ftp://My.Site.com")
I need to download an .exe from the web/ftp server and execute it. (it's a setup program)The application would use the WebClient (probably) class to downlad the files, and presumably would display progress to the user as it goes.

View 1 RepliesI ran across some legacy code which creates a link to a file on the web server and offers the user a link to download the file.
Machine name:
MYSERVER
[URL]
Full url path to the directory containing the file to download: [URL]
Target file name:
downloadable.txt
The code does the following to create a link to 'downloadable.txt'
server.machinename.tostring & ".. argetdownloadable.txt"
Which results in:
"MYSERVER.. argetdownloadable.txt"
That link appears on the page as:
<a href="MYSERVER.. arget.downloadable.txt">download this file</a>
In IE 7, mousing over the link shows the full URL "[URL]" in the status bar. And it works fine for downloading the file in IE 7 (left or right-click). Firefox shows "[URL]" in the status bar and downloading the file isn't as straight forward. FF actually tries to change the file name to include the server name and target directory in the file name.
I've tried other methods like WebClient.DownloadFile() and had no success. This works, but I'm unfamiliar with the ".." and curious about how it works. I understand that ".." typically means go up one directory. My question was really more in the line of "how does that get interpreted in the browser to sort out the path?"
I'm willing to compare a textfile (whatever) which contains a few lines of text. After the comparison it should download and replace the "changed" folder/file. E.g.
(Local txtFile)
maps: 1.0.0
db1: 1.0.0
db2. 1.0.0
(Server txtFile)
maps: 1.0.1
db1: 1.0.0
db2. 1.0.0

I want to download thousands of files from the web and save them locally. What is the most efficient way? It is important the failures timeout within 10 seconds.
Is there a better way to stream one stream into another? Maybe a smaller buffer, like 1024 bytes at a time, is more efficient for large files?

my problem is that the server (accessed through filezilla) wont allow .exe extensions to be uploaded as a result i have added a .new to the end and that allows it to be uploaded. Thus when i download it i simply remove the .file from the end.That's sorted but my auto updater needs to download folders as well. This is a problem as i cannot add a .file to a folder as it does not govern the filetype. I though of using .zip files but i cannot find an program in windows that can extract it (e.g. through CMD, or if you right click a .zip file in Win7/Vista you get the option to "extract all" i cannot find the root of this application). Also if i try to use a external file extractor i cannot be sure that the remote PC has the same program (e.g. 7zip, winrar, etc..)
View 2 RepliesI want to download my update files for my program from an FTP server, but i need to login first with the credentials. I have tried many things, used some examples on MSDN, googled a lot, but i can't find the code that i'm looking for... I also use a DLL of someone that i've imported into my project. I don't know if that harms my part of being unable to log in.
I have ZERO experience with FTP servers or Network Credentials, i've learned the little things about it on google.
