Hi all,
I need to know if, and how, it is possible to use ASP to download a
file automatically from the web server to the client in a given path.
Is that possible ? Ideally I want a page with a link that when pressed
it will copy a certain file that exists on the web server down to the
client.
No. This is not possible due to security reasons. All downloads need to
be initiated by the user, and the user gets to pick where the file will
go.
If you are in a WAN, there are other ways to accomplish your goal, which
you can discover by posting to a network administration newsgroup 9I
con't know any offhand - you will need to google for them).
