Download file in particular format

I want to download a file. The downloaded file should open in its corresponding application. A �.DOC� file should open in MS Word and �.XLS� file should open in MS Excel. What should be set in HttpRequest and/or HttpResponse objects to achieve this?
thx in advance

    String      objectName = "whatever_you_like.doc";
    response.setContentType( "application/octet-stream" );
    response.setHeader( "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + objectName + "\";" );

Hi,
Can anyone help me for downloading file in excel format? I have scheduled a job repeated everyday at a particular time, but it dumps a text file, NOT in excel format. My programme is an ALV.

I want to write a program to download file from particular location

Download file in different formats(its urgent)

Hi experts,
I have a problem when downlaod a file in different formats.
File should be downloaded 3 Formats.
1. DWG
2. DXF
3. PDF
this file is used for CAD Drawings.
So i required a Functional Modules to generate a file in 3 different formats.

Hi,
You can download an internal table data (of report format) into PDF
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
* BIN_FILESIZE =
filename = i_pfad
filetype = 'BIN'
* IMPORTING
* FILELENGTH =
TABLES
data_tab = i_att_cont
EXCEPTIONS
file_write_error = 1
no_batch = 2
gui_refuse_filetransfer = 3
invalid_type = 4
OTHERS = 5.
But DWG DXF are third party specific, i think in SAP we don't have functional modules to download in these
aRs
Points are always welcome

Downloading files in mp3 format

I am a novice at this. I have an mp3 player, but not an ipod. Can I download files from the itunes store in mp3 format so that I can play them on my mp3 player?
I downloaded one file from the itunes store. However, It won't work in the format that it is in. Please help. I really want to buy music but I need it in the format that i require.

Sorry, songs downloaded from the iTunes store are available in Protected AAC format only, which means that they are only playable on your PC and iPods. Another alternative would be to burn the downloaded song to a CD and then re-rip it as an MP3. You'd lose some quality, but at least it would be playable on your player.

Downloading file in xls format

Hi All,
I have a program that downloads data from a server to the local machine in xls format, via a JSP. The data comes from a ResultSet which I read and convert to csv format, but using ";" as the separator (it works..) and "\n" for each new line I require. I then set the response to download the file. Eveything works fine when I run the web application locally, the file downloads and opens in Excel, BUT when I do the same accessing a remote server running on Solaris, I have a problem opening the downloaded xls. Everything works fine until I try to open the file, Excel tells me that it can't read the first record.
Here's my code:
String path = servlet.getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
PrintWriter printWriter = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter( new FileOutputStream( path+ "upload/excel.csv" )));
String data;
String fileName; // a filename set when I read the data
// read data, put ";" and "\n" where required
printWriter.println(data);
printWriter.close();
response.setContentType("application/binary");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment" + ";fileName=\"" + filName + ".xls" + "\"");
RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("destination.jsp");
rd.include(request, response);
It works from Windows to Windows, but something's amiss when I try it from Solaris to Windows.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Most probably it has to do with line.separator system property which is different between windows and unix.
I noticed you using a printWriter.
The println method will use the appropriate line separator for the platform it is running on. (from the System properties)
I would try saving the file to disk rather than opening, to see if you can discern the differences.
Also - what does the included jsp do? does it just include the newly created file?
Do you need that file? Could you just stream it straight out to the user?
ie instead of sending it to a FileOutputStream, send it to the ServletOutputStream.
Hope this helps some,

Downloaded files won't open

Mail attachments, downloaded files from safari or chrome, or directly from gmail account won't open. I thought I'd resolve the problem by upgrading to Yosemite, but it still persists. The message I get is "file name" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash." It's the same message Gatekeeper will give you if it's programmed to only use apps that have been downloaded from the Apple store, but in my case it's with any downloaded file and any format (pdf, word, ppt, bmp, jpeg, etc.). I've gone through troubleshooting with Apple Support team but they seem to be clueless, too. Meanwhile I am stuck, can't get any work done!!!

Do you have any third party security software installed? That will most definitely be the culprit.
Gate Keeper will warn you when opening anything acquired from the internet that wasn't through the Mac App Store or it's identified developers. You can change this to allow anything, but I would advise against it... because you need to know that you are opening a file that may be suspect.
System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. Unlock and set it to Anywhere if you want to leave your system wide open. The second setting it the default setting (and best setting).
You should still be able to open a file without changing these settings by holding down the control key as you click on the file then select open. It will prompt you again to confirm that you want to open the file. From then on, that file will no longer be blocked.
Again, if you installed any third party software that is designed to perform a similar function, it will likely override anything OS X is doing. Which is why you don't want to use said software in the first place.

Free VLC player for the Mac, check out the Icecast Radio Directory also

And if it's copy protected then

If anyone is running 10.8. or later, then they might have to right or control click on the installer or app to "Open" to bypass Gatekeeper controls at least once, then it learns it's a ok to be trusted program.

How to convert binary file to a particular format?

Hi,
I am having a requirement. I have in database various kinds of files stored as binary format. Its a sybase database. Now the files can be .pdf, or .doc also. But they are stored in binary format.
I need to read the file from database.
Now I can use jdbc to read the particular column value which contains the file in binary format.
But tricky part is how to convert the binary file entry in a proper respective file format? So I have another column which basically has the value to tell the type of file. So I have ".doc" or ".pdf" as each entry of file...
So please help me how can we do this using Java?
THanks

Downloading file in UTF-8 format

Hi,
I want to download a file in UTF-* format.
i have written the following code to download it in UTF-8.
OPEN DATASET L_filename FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8.
LOOP AT p_struct INTO w_struct.
TRANSFER w_struct TO l_filename.
CLEAR w_struct.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET l_filename.
my question how do i check the file whether it is been downloaded in UTF-8 or not?
Thanks in advance.
neha

Hi!
You have to download it into your PC. For this, use an FTP program (f.e smartftp).
Then use a text editor to check its format, for example PSPAD text editor.
