Yeah of course,
0AX120S could be your primary key in your table and it would include the
link for the real filename in another column. Use SQL to query the filename
from the database.

But how do I output the file as my_vacation_pic .jpg when the actual filename
stored on the server is 0AX120S.jpg
1)the user clicks this link http://mywebsite.com/download.aspx?file=003
2)download.aspx fetch index 003 from database
3)outputs 0AX120S.jpg as my_vacation_pic .jpg
4)the user only knows that hes downloading my_vacation_pic .jpg
Why do I want to do this? well, the user can upload files to my server and i
want them to be downloadable only through the download.aspx script. It also
helps protect the server against malicious scripts that people upload.
Thanks

Hi Aaron:
One way to do this is to use set the src attribute of an image tag to
an ASPX page, and have the ASPX page determine the correct filename to
use and write the jpeg contents back into the response.
Here is an example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...e/default.aspx
Hope this helps,

Well,
If you display the image to them and they right click on it and let say,
view the properties. Thie image 0AX120S.jpg will not display. They will
see this as the image source http://mywebsite.com/download.aspx?file=003.
If they choose to save your image to disk, then I think they will be able to
call it whatever you want. Hope this helps, otherwise see if anyone else
have a take on this

With your method someone can still figure out the actual location by using a
packet sniffer. It just redirects to that location.
ie. http://mywebsite.com/download.aspx?file=003 redirects to http://mywebsite.com/uploadedFiles/0AX120S.zip
I want this http://mywebsite.com/download.aspx?file=003 gets http://mywebsite.com/uploadedFiles/0AX120S.zip outputs as http://mywebsite.com/uploadedFiles/my_vacation_pic.zip
If they type http://mywebsite.com/uploadedFiles/my_vacation_pic.zip in their
browser they will get a 404 error. There's no way for them knowing http://mywebsite.com/uploadedFiles/0AX120S.zip because that address is not
sent to their computer.
Is this possible??

I hate it when clients do that!
Is it fun to change the requirement after the problem is solved? Why
not state the problem clearly next time so the answer fits the
problem by design instead of by accident?
Actually, with a little imagination this particular solution can be
adapted to any of the file types mentioned, or to solve it in
general, you could send an anonymous stream to the response object
based on the input file: read from source file, output to stream.
-- ipgrunt
This exchange has been fun to watch!
Hi Aaron,
Clicking a link sends a request to the web server. The response that comes
back has a small set of HTTP headers associated with it.
In these headers, you can specify the filename that you want the browser to
use when opening the file.
Content-Type = application/download
Content-Disposition = attachment; filename=my_vac ation_pic.jpg
This will allow the user to save the file by the name you provide.
You simply have to code the headers.
I'm not clear from your messages if you are storing the files in the
database or just their names. If you are storing just their names, then you
will want your ASPX page to set the HTTP headers first, then read the file
into memory, encode to Base64, and stream it into the Response object.
The browser will do the rest.

Hi, I’ve written a c# program to compact certain msaccess databases. The way
this works is to compact say C:\test1.mdb to C:\temp.mdb, then delete
C:\test1.mdb and rename C:\temp.mdb as C:\test1.mdb.
My problem occurs if there is already a C:\temp.mdb file. I don’t want to
just delete this, as it could have been created separately by a user.
In my code, I set a constant as follows:
private const string tempMdb = @"C:\temp.mdb";

On Windows, if I do os.rename(old, new) where old is a file that is
in-use (e.g. python itself, or a dll that is loaded), I would expect
that an error would be raised (e.g. as when os.remove is called with
an in-use file). However, what happens is that a copy of the file is
made, and the old file still exists.

Hello,
I want to make a file available to a user for download on an ASP.NET
page.
So I need to have a button that when clicked, the file is download.
However, before the file is downloaded, I want it to be renamed so the
file name that the users gets is different that the one in the server.
The extension will be the same.
Any idea of how to do this?
