Open File download

When i download a file, it open direct. I don´t want that the file downloaded open. How/Where can I set for file only download without open automatic?

What type of file are you referring to?
PHP? JPG? SWF?
AVI? .DOC? PDF?
No files that are downloaded on the "Download" window are ever opened automatically.
However if it's a JPG file, it will open in the browser. It does not use the Download window.

Force flash to open file download box in front of the flash movie

Folks,
I'm making a dvd title using flash to auto start when people
pops the dvd disc in.
I have a button 'Click here to download the movie' and
clicking the button should pop up a file download box so people can
save the movie file(.mov) to their desktop.
Problem is that the file download box shows up behind the
flash movie so people won't be able to see the download box since
it's hidden behind the flash. This is critical since I intend the
flash to open as a full-screen mode.
Is there a way to force the flash to open the download box in
front of the flash movie?
I tried getURL and fscommand ("exec", "filename.exe") and
even fileReference commands to try different way of linking the
movie file, and they all open download box behind the flash.
Please help~~~

Please do not post the same topic in multiple forums. The
only thing I can suggest is when they click on the button to
download, you take flash out of full screen while they download the
video, you can use fileReference to control and monitor the
download. Use a listener object to monitor when download is
complete, then set flash back to full screen.
How are you scripting the full screen?

Opens File Download in IE and not activating webStart

After installing the java webstart i pressed on the link of my application on the html file.
The Internet explorer open the File Download dialog insted of webstart being active.
Thanks in advance, Avi.

Most likely you did not assocate .JNLP with the "application/x-java-jnlp-file" MIME type on your web server. Does it work if you double-click a .JNLP file on your local hard drive? If not, it is a problem with the Web Start setup on your PC.

Open file-download window from servlet

Hi all,
 This is the scenario I'm trying to achieve:
 - Display html page with a button or href "download csv file"
 - the user clicks
 - the file-download pop-up window should appear,so the user can save the
 file at any location
 This is how far I get:
 - when the user clicks a servlet gets activated
 - Servlet:
 - creates the csv file and write it to disk
 - now I want the servlet to do something so that the file-download window
 opens
 - I've tried with forward the request to the url (which only displays the
 content in the browser)
 - I write to HttpServletResponse it opens the file in excel which I don't
 want
 Any ideas ?
 Thanks in advance

Thanks Mettu,

 if (nextPage.getType()== Page.TYPE_CSV)
 String filePath = (String) req.getAttribute(Attribute.CSV_FILE_PATH);
 String fileName = (String)
 req.getAttribute(Attribute.CSV_FILE_NAME);
 file://Writing text file like this enforces fileDownload popup
 window
 res.setContentType("application/RFC822");
 res.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" +
 fileName);
 writeFileToOutStream(res,filePath,fileName);
 private void writeFileToOutStream(HttpServletResponse res,String
 filePath,String fileName) throws IOException
 OutputStream out1 = res.getOutputStream();
 FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(filePath + fileName);
 byte [] b = new byte[1024];
 int size = 0;
 while((size = fin.read(b, 0, 1024)) > 0)
 out1.write(b, 0, size);
 fin.close();
 out1.flush();

Can not open file download prompt in portal web app.

Hi folks,
I am migrating existing Struts app into portal web app and currently stuck on the following problem.
In existing app, Struts action calls servlet that generates excel file, sets response headers:
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=thename.csv");
that brings up "file download" prompt window.
In portal app, the same code writes excel file content into browser window instead of the prompt.
Has anyone had to deal with similar problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Alex.
Version of portal used is 8.1 SP5
Struts - 1.1

Problem is resolved. For those who might be interested - specifying redirect=true on forward to servlet did the trick.

I cannot open files downloaded with the easy youtube downloader add-on

I am trying to get video clips from youtube so i can edit them together to make my own videos. using the easy youtube downloader add-on, i saved the videos to an mp4 format, after the video is downloaded, when i attempt to open it, all the player say that it is not a comptable file format (eventhough the save says .mp4) or the codec is unsupported, what can i do to support the codec, or obtain the videos in a fashion i can use them?

Which player are you using?
A program like VLC or MPlayer is capable of playing a lot of media files.

How to change/set default "box selection" in download/open file menu?

I have set downloads option in options-general to "Always ask me where to save files". This is making a menu pop-up with option "Open with" and "Save file" every time I want to download something, and thats what I want. The thing is that depending on type of file I want to download the box for "open file" is ticked for some files like .doc and .xsp files, and the box "save file" is ticked for other files like .zip files.
Sometimes Im downloading many separate files in a short time and it is annoying to to tick "save file" and select ok instead if having "save file" already ticked and just clicking ok.
How can I change this behavior?
My setup:
Firefox 26.0
Download status bar
All-in-one sidebar
Example pictures:

See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
Current Firefox versions remember the download directory based upon the URL, so if the URL changes then the default folder may be chosen if there hasn't been selected a download folder before for that server.
You can disable this feature to remember the download directory via the Boolean pref browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite on the about:config page.
The browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite pref doesn't exist by default (it is a hidden pref), so you need to create it.
Create a new Boolean pref with the name browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite and set the value to false.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can delete the content-prefs.sqlite file in the Profile Folder to only remove settings stored in this file and keep the exceptions that are stored in permissions.sqlite that would be lost if you clear the "Site Preferences" via Clear Recent History.

Pages will no longer let me open files that I have previously downloaded, worked on and then saved on my mac. However it will let me open pages documents that I have started from new. I need the other documents to open and can't figure it out. PLEASE

Pages will no longer let me open files that I have previously downloaded, worked on and then saved on my mac. However it will let me open pages documents that I have started from new. I need the other documents to open and can't figure it out. PLEASE

I just got my mac a month ago so go easy on me but I was just working with the pages that was already on it, and then today I know it updated, and now I am unable to open a lot of my documents!:( Idk what you mean by the icloud version lol sorry! As for the version, when I open pages from my apps and click 'about' it says version 5.1? And when I open the document it just goes grey and kind of blinks and doesnt open? No error message or any indication of why it will not open now when I for sure have opened it in the past! Andddd for the OS X I think it is 10.9.1 ??

Error 'Unable to open file' when downloading SAP Query to Excel

Hi all
I'm running a SAP Query which is set to download straight to a spreadsheet (Pivot Table / Microsoft Excel). Intermittently it does not work - apparently at random (at least, I've can't recreate the error at will).
It does one of the following:
- Works ok, and creates the pivot table
- Gives an Excel error message 'Unable to open file', then returns to the 'save the data in a spreadsheet' popup when enter is pressed on the error.
- Does not issue error message, just goes to the 'save the data in a spreadsheet' popup.
In the last two cases, the excel pivot table sheet is not created.
Has anyone seen anything similar, or have any idea as to what is causing the problem?
Any help gratefully received!
Not urgent as I've found a way round - further testing seems to show that I don't get the error is Excel is already open - but in the past I've run many SAP query downloads without needing to open Excel first. I suppose it's possible that this is just something to do with the Excel setup at the user site

What type of file? From what site? What Apps have you downloaded for it?
Perhaps if you provide details of what you are doing we can provide more precise help.

Hi @kams01,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you are having some connection issues with your HP Officejet 8620 running on Windows 7. I am sorry for the frustration, but happy to help!
I would recommend going through these two guides:
'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Windows 7.
Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
Tips for troubleshooting wireless connection issues.
The following tips can help you troubleshoot and avoid wireless connectivity issues. You can try these tips separately or in combination to get a successful wireless signal.
Move the printer and the computer closer to the router, but no closer than 6 ft (1.8 m). Wireless signals can be weaker at greater distances between the printer and the router.
If you are experiencing an intermittent wireless connection, try restarting your router. Consult your router manufacturer, Internet service provider, or network administrator for instructions on how to restart the router.
Remove any metal objects between the printer, the computer, and the router. Objects such as refrigerators, microwaves, or metal bookcases can interfere with wireless transmission.
Move any device that emits radio signals, such as microwaves and cordless telephones, farther away from the printer. Such devices can interfere with wireless signals.
I would also visit this website, HP Wireless Printing Center - Troubleshooting Issues.
Hope this information is helpful, and thank you for posting!

Unable to open the downloaded file

Unable to open the downloaded file:
Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Foundation Services Release 11.1.2.1.0 -> for Windows x86 -> File2
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/performance-management/downloads/hyperion-foundation-1112-086772.html
Error message -
Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive. If you download this file, try downloading the file again.
Tried many a times and used various unzipping tool.

do not pause the download in the middle of the download.
with some download software, you can pause/stop the download in middle and continue.it will corrupt the software.
else in middle the due to network... it may corrupt.
check/compare the size with the original bytes mentioned in the oracle software download index size matches your downloaded file size.
try to download it again.
Good Luck.

Names of downloaded files appear in Downloads Window only if that window is open during download. I run Firefox 4 on windows xp 32 bit sp3. I didn't have such problem with Firefox 3. Can somebody please help me?

When I download a file with firefox 4 Downloads Window opens but downloading file name doesn't appear there. If I keep Downloads Window open further downloads appear in it but if i close it and reopen it again it appears blank, all downloaded file names are disappeared. I tried everything, unchecked "Remember download history" box and checked it again, deleted downloads.sqlite file, even created new profile but nothing helped.

It is easy for me to explain things badly, and I can not see what you are actually doing, I will therfore try to list as steps to take.
Please confirm that you have used firefox safe mode and still see the problem, by doing the following:
# open firefox - use any profile
# use '''Firefoxbutton -> Help -> Restart with add-ons disabled'''
# you should now see an options dialogue with a list of check box options,
#*you may get a confirmation option, if so accept it
#* do you now see the listing of check boxes, with a continue button at the bottom
#without making any changes, click the continue with safemode
# firefox should now restart in safe-mode
Now try the downloading, whilst we know you are in safe mode.
# once a download has completed, use the option to open the containing folder that you see in your download manager
## does that option work ok,
## does it open a folder with downloads in it, make a note of the folders path/location/name
## do you see the downloaded file you just downloaded
## if so regardless of what the downloads folder says you have found the downloads
## close firefox and the folders with the downloads
## are you now able to reopen the 'containing' folder and find the downloads ( use Windows Explorer, not clicking on firefox, - firefox is closed)
## close the folder again
## open firefox, this time no need to be in safe mode
## look again for the containing folder whose name you noted down, does it still contain the downloads
#'''IF''' you are getting problems now that you are in safe mode read the article about [[Unable to download or save files]]
## the article has several steps it suggests you try,
## please try all the steps in turn and report what happens with each step

Error while opening PDF file downloaded from database Blob column

Hi All,
I am working on jdev 11.1.1.4.0.
In my use-case I am using filedownload Actionlistner on a link to get the PDF file stored in the database in blob field. These files are being uploaded from other use-case in adf only.
After getting the dialog box to open/save/cancel for the PDF file when i click on open then i am getting an error *'Adobe Reader could not open 'abc.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type*
or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly docoded)' for some files , and to my surprise I am able to open some files.
When I open these PDF files separately from desktop I am able to view the content of each and every file in adobe reader.
I dont know where the problem exactly lies , while uploading/downloading the file . Any ideas/thoughts to resolve this issue?
Thanks
Kanika

Thanks a lot Timo...!!!
I checked the PDF file downloaded directly from the blob column in DB, there only it is corrupted so must be the problem in uploading the file. I am checking the code line by line,, but no problem in setting the file content type,size etc.
Here is the code snippet ..
byte[] buff;
buff = new byte[(int)length]; -- Length is the file size
int bytesRead = is.read(buff);
for (int i = 0; bytesRead < buff.length; i++) {
// int b = is.read();
int b = is.read();
if (b == -1)
break;
buff[i] = (byte)b;
BlobDomain blobDomian = new BlobDomain((buff));
TestVORow = (TestVORow Impl)TestVO.createRow();
if(blobDomian != null) {
TestVORow.setAttachment(blobDomian);
am.getTransaction().commit();
This seems to be Ok to me..the same issue, file is still corrupting.
Any thoughts from your side ???
Thanks
Kanika
The problem is resolved.
Changes made are instead of
InputStream is;
used ... BufferedInputStream bis ;
and after
for (int i = 0; bytesRead < buff.length; i++) {
// int b = bis.read();
int b = bis.read();
if (b == -1)
break;
buff[i] = (byte)b;
bis.close(); // use this close bufferedInput Stream.
Able to open each and every file now..Thanks for your suggestions Timo and Frank.
