Yes, you might indeed get a page timeout. What you might do is have the page
start the FTP process and return to the client. Then it can refresh itself
periodically to chack on the server for the finish.
No, I'm afraid I don't have sample code. Although I've written an FTP client
service before, it was just that - a service, which runs in the background
of the OS. It wasn't in any way an ASP.Net app.

But, our files are so big and if I was to do that would it give me a page
timeout? Do you have a sample code?
Thank you

would run on the back end.

news:Ne********************@rogers.com... Hi,
Is it possible to redirect users to an FTP server from your site without
actually displaying the FTP username/password? Are there other
alternatives?
Currently, I have it so that once I authenticate the user for a file
(name) in the database I then redirect the user to the file using
ftp://username:pa******@www.oursite.com/. However, with this approach
users can see the ftp://username:pa******@www.oursite.com. Is there a
way around this?
BTW, our product download files are around 300 Megs so it must stay as
FTP.
Thank you
Maz.
