Copying files from the server to the PC

[JimmySlam]

Hi how do i copy a file from the server to the PC?
Const ForWriting=2
strPath = Server.MapPath("datos.xml")
Set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oFile = fso.GetFile(strPath)
Set tso = oFile.OpenAsTextStream(ForWriting)

sob=1
CopyFile "datos.xml", file://c:/datos.xml, sob

CopyFile "datos.xml", file://c:/datos.xml, sob

Basic file copy:

<%
dim fso
set fso=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If fso.FileExists("c:\sourcefolder\anyfile.html") Then
fso.CopyFile "c:\sourcefolder\anyfile.html", "c:\destfolder\"
End If
%>

However, you need to say where the server is in relation to the PC you
want to write to. Are they on the same network? Or do you propose to
perform some action that will copy a file from a web server to a
visitors PC?

Want to do it without user interaction? Tough. It's a security violation.

Right. But if you can do it, then so can a hacker.

Sounds like you need WebDAV.

I've got absolutely no idea, but if I wanted to use it or find out more
about it, I'd read some of the links and do a bit more searching.

Just a thought.....

In the barest sense, you can use Internet Explorer and IIS. I'm not sure
about versions prior to 6, but in IIS 6, enable WebDAV in Web Service
Extensions. Then use the [Web Sharing] tab on the target folder's properties
to open a WebDAV share. In IE, go to

File : Open : [Type URL and check Open as Web Folder]
