file download from server to client

[ponvijaya]

Hi all,

In my jsp page, I have one requirement.

I have a button named Download. If I click this a file from server should be downloaded to the client whoever accessing that jsp page and clicking that button.

According to the requirement, the file should not be downloaded through the http header.
It should be copied to a static folder (Say for eg c:\temp )in all client machines whoever clicking the button.

I need a java code for downloading a file from server to client…

Please help me how to do this…?

Thanks in advance.

You can't do that for security reason the browser doesn't give you access to the client machine (caution, if your client is Linux or Mac you don't have any c:). The only way I see ti do do something like that is to use a signed applet in the JSP.
