Webutil_file_transfer.as_to_client_with_progress returns false

Question

Hi,
I have the following problem: I want to transfer a file from the application server to the client. I use the following code:
DECLARE
l_cache_filename VARCHAR2(150) := 'Q:\OracleReportsTemp\123.html';
l_report_desname VARCHAR2(150) := 'C:\pcedownload\456.html';
BEGIN
IF NOT webutil_file_transfer.is_as_readable(l_cache_filename)
THEN
message('error in configuration');
ELSE
IF NOT webutil_file_transfer.as_to_client_with_progress(l_report_desname, l_cache_filename, 'Transferring to '||l_report_desname, 'Transferring to '||l_report_desname)
THEN
message('error while transferring');
END IF;
END IF;
END;
The file Q:\OracleReportsTemp\123.html exists on the application server and the directory C:\pcedownload exists on the client PC.
This is the extract from webutil.cfg from the application server:
transfer.database.enabled=FALSE
transfer.appsrv.enabled=TRUE
transfer.appsrv.workAreaRoot=Q:\OracleReportsTemp
transfer.appsrv.accessControl=TRUE
transfer.appsrv.read.1=Q:\OracleReportsTemp
Although this code works fine on my local OC4J, webutil_file_transfer.as_to_client_with_progress always return FALSE on the Application Server. The function webutil_file_transfer.is_as_readable returns true on both environments. Other webutil function such as client_text_io also work fine on both environments.
Versions:
Forms 10g Release 2
Application Server 10g Release2 using OID and SSL
Webutil 1.0.6
Jinitiator 1.3.1.22

Hi,
You can try as follows in your webutil.cfg file:
transfer.database.enabled=TRUE
transfer.appsrv.enabled=TRUE
transfer.appsrv.workAreaRoot=
transfer.appsrv.accessControl=FALSE
transfer.appsrv.read.1=
transfer.appsrv.write.1=
In formsweb.cfg you might have:
[webutil]
WebUtilArchive=frmwebutil.jar,jacob.jar
WebUtilLogging=off
WebUtilLoggingDetail=normal
WebUtilErrorMode=Alert
WebUtilDispatchMonitorInterval=5
WebUtilTrustInternal=true
WebUtilMaxTransferSize=16384
baseHTMLjinitiator=webutiljini.htm
baseHTMLjpi=webutiljpi.htm
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,frmwebutil.jar,jacob.jar
archive=frmall.jar
lookAndFeel=oracle
userid=user/pwd@mbcprod10g
width=100%
height=100%
then try with the following link:
http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil&form=<Form_Name>
Hopefully it will work.
