Downloading a file

[Steven]

I want my users to access my .aspx and hit a button to
download a file. I tried using the a System.Net.Webclient
object but instead of the file being downloaded to the
users PC, its copied to the server???

Any suggestions?

TIA

[Matt Osborne]

Have you tried resonse.Redirect( URL of File )?

Downloading more than one file in a single HTTP response requires a
client side application in order to split up the response.

Hi, I'm using Director MX and making an interactive CD. How do make a link that downloads a file off the CD to the users hardrive? If you could give me a step by step process I would appreciate it because I'm not real good at Lingo and I'm just a beginner on Director. Thanks for you help!

Hi,

You can use a third party Xtra such as BuddyAPI to save files from the CD to
the user's harddrive. BuddyAPI's baCopyFile command can achieve this
function.
ex. OK = baCopyFile("d:\data\student.txt" , "c:\data\backup\student.dat" ,
"IfNewer" )
You can download the Xtra at [url]http://www.buddyapi.com[/url]
