Download file from web server to client's computer

4 New Member

Hi there,

I am developing a web application which requires a download function to download files selected on the web page into client's computer. I have tried to build a C# DLL, load to client's machine and retrieve the file (data) from server and save it in client's PC. That's doesn't work. During this test, I got a Unauthorized Access Exception when I tried to use the StreamWriter to write the data to "d:\tmp\" (for instance).

It sounds like a trivial task but I can't find any hints or white papers on how to do this the right way.

Furthermore, providing the links to download one by one, zip them and download the zip .. I have considered these options but it doesn't fit the requirement.

Any pointers or suggestions are highly welcome. Thanks in advance.
