Start file download via Code
-
Hi, I have two problems. Problem 1: I have an internal LAN web server which one provides file attachments. I'd like to cache the requestet file on the web server my asp.net site is hosted on. Is it possible to copy an file from one webserver to another via code? Problem 2: Now I'd like to provide the file download for the user. I know, that a direct link is one possiblity, but I'd lik to start the file download via code, too. Is ther any Method or something which handle this? thank in advance regards pdluke

Hi, thank for the fast response. I've tried the method from the Microsoft support page, tha you have linked. The Problem is that the exception says, that URI-Fromats can't be handled. regards pdluke

I think there is no direct method available. You can do in other way, webserver where files to be copied can request to the file located on this server using
WebClientclassesDownloadFile()method.pdluke wrote:

Just do
Response.Redirect()to the file you want to get downloaded. If file extension is not mapped with any ISAPI module, then browser will prompt Save dialogbox.
