  download problems Reply Contact I'm having issues with the below. When a dialog box opens I opt to save the file, but all I get is a 0 length file. Files should be 3MB+. I write FPath to the screen and the link is correct. I can cut-n-paste to a browser address bar and download the file as expected. Is there a way to write FPath to the dialog box so I can see what's happening there? Otherwise, what am I doing wrong here? thanks! <%     Response.Buffer = False     Server.ScriptTimeout = 30000     Response.ContentType = "application/x-unknown" ' arbitrary     fn = (rsFreeDownload.Fields.Item("FileNam").Value)     FPath = "http://www.xyz.com" & (rsFreeDownload.Fields.Item("Folder").Value) & fn     Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & fn     Set adoStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")     chunk = 4096     adoStream.Open()     adoStream.Type = 1     adoStream.LoadFromFile(FPath)     iSz = adoStream.Size     Response.AddHeader "Content-Length", iSz     For i = 1 To iSz \ chunk         If Not Response.IsClientConnected Then Exit For         Response.BinaryWrite adoStream.Read(chunk)     Next     If iSz Mod chunk > 0 Then         If Response.IsClientConnected Then             Response.BinaryWrite adoStream.Read(iSz Mod chunk)         End If     End If     adoStream.Close     Set adoStream = Nothing     Response.End %>

  Re: download problems Reply Contact Addendum: I think I know what the problem is, but not sure how to remedy. When I was on a dedicated server, my FPath was on the same machine and all worked fine. I have since moved to a shared server, but my downloads are on another server entirely. So, instead of FPath="C:\myfiles\etc.", it's now FPath=http://www.myotherserver.com/myfiles/etc. I don't want to disclose where the file is being downloaded from. Can the above be modified to do that? thanks!
