File download +ASP

[Kirthikaiitm]

Hi,
I have a webserver which support ASP,VB Script and JScript.
I want to download file and put in device.
I referred to web for downloading files.
But the code had
Set files=server.createobject('Scripting.dictionary')

But my webserver doesn't support 'scripting.dictionary'

Is there any reference where i can download files or images without
'scripting.dictionary'

Pls. suggest.i am new to alll.
If u know any reference website pls. tell us.

Regards,
Kirthika

I think the problem is your single quotes. Single quotes donate a comment in ASP, so asp probably thinks you're commenting out everything after the opening parentheses and will attempt to run... Set files=server.createobject(

...which obviously won't work, and thusly throws an error.

Try double quotes and let us know if that works.

Set files=server.createobject("Scripting.dictionary")
 

w3schools - dictionary object is a good resource for the dictionary object in ASP.

Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Mark

Krithika,

the dictionary object should be supported by all versions of ASP, but that said, I'm not sure how I would use a dictionary object to download a file. Could you give a little more details of your exact needs? Can you not just put a hyperlink to the file in question on your web page?
