HTML - File Download View Count

how do i put up a file for download on a homepage?

I have a scenario where a user uploads any file (any format) to a webserver, the webserver manipulates the file then allows the user to download the file.

So far I can successfully upload a file to the server. However I am having trouble allowing the user to download a file. I read that streaming the file from the server to the user is better then providing a link to the file on the server. However with my attempts at streaming, I often find the file contents being displayed on the page. Whereas I simply want the file to be downloaded to the users hard disk, or preferably an option that allows the user to accept or decline before downloading the file.

Could anyone please give me an example?

Hi all,

I have saved files in a folder. Everyday I am saving file with same name but daily dates included in the name.

I want to just send the link of the file everyday that I don't have to change the name of the link provided to the user but with the different name behind the link.

When user click the link it should give user option to "open and save" dialogue box.
For this purpose I have tried some option. A window opened behind dialogue box and after complete download it is not closing itself.

So I have required following:
1. User to give option with open and save dialogue box.
2. The browser window should close itself after download file complete or it should open, just give open and save option.

Hope everyone will understand.

What code do I put in my php file to prevent people from viewing it and remote downloading it?

Don't get me wrong, I still want the php file accessible for the viewer to load it and use it but I dont want them view the source code or download it.

Thank you.

Hello Everyone,

I am putting together a web site that will allow folks to listen to some audio files (.mp3). I do not want them to have the ability to down load them. Do do this, I create an href to the file: <a href="birdcall001.mp3">

This seems to work fine in Microsoft's IE. Microsoft IE brings up the audio player and plays the file. However if I use the Firefox browser, a dialog box comes up and gives the user the choice to listen to the file or to download it.

Is there a way to prevent Firefox from giving the user the option to download the file?

New to this, but having a lot of fun!

Thanks for any help!

Told you I was new at this. Additional testing shows:

They can also download the file in IE by simply right clicking on the reference. So I guess the real question is "is there a way to allow users to listen to a .mp3 file, but prevent them from downloading the file"

Thanks for any insight!

Hello,
I have a simple web page that contains an href link. When a user left clicks the link I would like to download a file. Testing the page local to my pc works fine, but when I uploaded in a Server, didn't worked correctly. Instead of downloading the file, it actually opens the file. What should I change?

I am using a vserver in Plesk enviroment if that is of any use. Should I change something to the server?

Hi,
I have a very simple website with a countdown timer on it (http://lemoeonline.freehostia.com/1.htm sorry about all the crap, it should only really have the countdown on it....I forgot to delete the rest). What I am wanting to do is have a separate webpage where users can download that page, but with a date they specify in a form.

So, they would go to page a, enter a date, then download page b witch would have the customized code in it......Is this possible?


Im not really sure where to start on this one, so im looking for any suggestions!

Thanks alot,
Lemoe

I have a pdf file that is the catalog for my business.

Is there a way to make it so that i can create a link that says "view" and if people click on it, then the standard "FILE DOWNLOAD" box does not come up... and it just opens the file in a separate window.... and have a "download" link where if they click that... then it just downloads the file.

I know that i am weird... but i think it would be something that not everybody has... and something that would be kinda cool.

Thanks in advance....
