How to navigate...

[Dusan]

Hi

My problem is probably simple. But I do not know, how to obtain directory
from a client, to store a downloaded file.
I mean, client can to point directory in his PC (something like SaveDialog
in Windows.Forms), where a WebClient can send a file.
Is there any component, to solve this problem?

Thanks

Dusan

You can't specify this. it's up to the user where the file gets saved. Or is
that not what you mean? Might be a clkash of terminology here

Thank You Jason

There is HTML componet <input type="file"/> which put on the page button
"Browse" , to enable user populate his FileSystem to select a file. But this
is suitable only for file uploading .
I ment, there must be something similar for DownLoad file...

You can cause the browser to show the 'save as' dialog pretty easily by
sending a content-disposition header

Response.AddHeader("content-disposition",
"attachment;filename=somefile.extn")
and/or making sure you send a mime-type the browser won't want to display by
itself
Response.ContentType = "application/unknown"


but you can't specify where the user will put it.

Your example works well, but this only can send entire page. I would need to
send a file, saved in app. directory (likes zip,rar file).
I mean, I would like to allow a client do download a file from main domain.
What kind of parameters shoul I put in AppenHeader sub.
Response.AppendHeader(string name?,string value?);

Thank You

Dusan

well, a file like that wouldn't be processed by the ASP engine by default,
so you'd have to open the file from ASP, then stream it. A quick Google
turned this up:
