  • How to download a file from server?

    Hi everyone,
    I need to download a file from my server to client machine. I got a sample code from ur forum and I modified it slightly.
    //Snippet of code:
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)throws
         ServletException, IOException{
    int bytesRead=0;
         int count=0;
         byte[] b1=new byte[1];
         //OutputStream out=res.getOutputStream();
         res.setContentType("application/html");
         //Create an input stream from file URL.
         String fileURL="http://localhost:8080/webapps/upload/upload.html";
         BufferedInputStream bis=null;
         BufferedOutputStream bos=null;
         boolean download=false;
         res.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=upload.html " );
         try{
         URL url=new URL(fileURL);
         URLConnection connection=url.openConnection();
         InputStream in=connection.getInputStream();
         bis=new BufferedInputStream(in);
         FileOutputStream fileout=new FileOutputStream("upload.html");
         bos=new BufferedOutputStream(fileout);
         while(-1 != (bytesRead = bis.read())){
         try{
         bos.write(bytesRead);
         bos.flush();
         }//end of try forwhile loop
         catch(SocketException e){
         setError(e);
         break;
    The code is getting compiled, when I run the appln using the URL,
    http://localhost:8080/upload/servlet/DownloadFile
    it opens a pop up dialog box, asking whether to "open", "save" or "cancel" buttons. When I try to open a file, I'm getting a blank page.
    I'm not getting the contents of the file.
    So pls can anyone tel me wht's wrong in the code or do i need to add few more lines in my code?
    Also pls let me know, how can I download any files of type .doc, html, .txt, .zip, or any type, without mentioning the file type?
    Thanks in advance

    Do not use a FileOutputStream (that will save it locally to the server). Call HttpServletResponse.getOutputStream(), which will send it back to the browser. Also remember to call close() on the stream at the end.

  • Help with download large file (~50mb) from http protocol

    I'm just using the default HttpURLConnection to download a large file from a server, I can never finish downloading before I get this exception:

            ...The file is on IIS web server, its a static file, not a server script, web service, or anything special. I usually can download 10-30 mb before this exception occurs. I'm using java 1.6.0_11 on windows xp, anyone have suggestions or experience downloading large files with java?

    Thank you everyone for their suggestions. I tried wget, and it worked fine, but I tried a couple of different clients and they were failing too. I assume wget has resume capabilities, so I debugged the server and found the issue. It was a connection problem on the server end.

    Hi,
    Made the same changes but still getting the same error.
    The earlier URL also that I had mentoned would dynamically make this url mentioned by you and then shows the pop up window.
    However when I am right clicking on the download link and then clicking 'Save target as' then this error message is provided:
    Internet Cannot download [schema name].download_myfile2 from [DNS name]
    Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet Site.The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found .Please try again.
    Please help..
    Thanks in Advance ...

  • Display save as dialog when downloading a file

    Hi,
    I want to display a save as dialog when the user downloads a file.
    Now I get a dialog where the user can choose to open or save it.
    I set these headers:
    res.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filnamn);
    res.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/force-download");Thanks!

    Sorry!
    When the user downloads a file I want to open a dialog where the user
    can write a filename and then click Save to save the file.
    Today I get a dialog where the user first have to choose if he wants to open or save the file.
    When he clicks save then the dialog appears that I would want to be displayed.
    I hope this clearifies my question.

  • How to let user download multi files at the same time in WebDynpro ABAP?

    hi all:
    As you know, WeyDynpor has provided upload/download UI element, but it seems that it only support one file upload/downlaod at the same time.The following is the API method to download one file in Webdynpro:
        cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response(
         EXPORTING
           i_filename      = lv_filename
           i_content       = lv_content
           i_mime_type     = lv_mine_type
           i_in_new_window = abap_true
           i_inplace       = abap_false
    *      EXCEPTIONS
    *        others          = 1
    but if when use click one button, we want to provide user a html file plus 2 icons files which are used as this html file's resource file, then how to let user download these 3 files together at the same time?
    one simple way is calling the download api (cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response) 3 times,
    but it is very ugly that three popup windows are shown to let user select every file's download path, which is unaccepted.
    So anyone know more convienient way to handle it?
    thanks.

    Hi,
    I suggest you to zip the files and attach it to the response. Do the add file part for each of your files
         "References
         DATA lr_zip TYPE REF TO cl_abap_zip.
         "Variables
         DATA lv_zip_xstring TYPE xstring.
         DATA lv_zip_name TYPE string.
         DATA lv_file_content TYPE xstring.
         DATA lv_file_name  TYPE string.
         "Create instance
         CREATE OBJECT lr_zip.
         "Add file
         lr_zip_attachments->add(
           EXPORTING name = lv_file_name
                  content = lv_file_content ).
         lr_zip_attachments->save( RECEIVING zip = lv_zip_xstring ).
         "Attach zip file to response
         cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response(
           EXPORTING i_filename      = lv_zip_name
                     i_mime_type     = 'ZIP/APPLICATION'
                     i_content       = lv_zip_xstring ).

  • Downloading a file would bring up an option to open the file or save it - for some reason now it just downloads straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else?

    Downloading a file would normally bring up an option to open the file with the appropriate program or save it - for some reason now it just downloads straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else? It's very frustrating - sometimes you want the file opened first so it can be discarded or saved to a different location.

    Hey. that's great! Thanks for posting back with the outcome.

  • Problem on windows xp with downloaded zip file

    Hi,
    I have written a JSP to download file which is as follows
    try

    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=<FileName>");
    int iRead;
    FileInputStream stream = null;
    try

    out.flush();
    finally
    if (stream != null)
    stream.close();
    catch(Exception e)
    //out.println("Exception : "+e);
    After downloading zip file, could not extract files on windows XP by using any tool or built-in extractor i.e. compressed(zipped)folders (error: compressed folder invalid or corrupted).
    But this works on win2k or win98
    How can i work with it or can anyone tell me a solution to handle such a problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    This could be a problem with the built-in ZIP program in Win XP - it's possible that the ZIP you are downloading (uploading?) is simply incompatible with the XP program. In Win 98 & 2000, you would have to use your own ZIP program, e.g. Winzip, and that can handle more formats that the XP program.
    Try installing the same ZIP program that you have on w98/2k on your XP machine, and see if you can open the uploaded file using it.

  • How to download multiple files?

    I have an air app where a user can click a thumbnail and download that file to their download folder.
    My question is how to go about allowing the user to select more than one and download them instead of one at a time.
    Do i need to just put the download in a loop? Also My custom item renderer and stopped the tiles from looking like they are selected, how would i make them look selected?

    try this
    private function downloadFile(url:String):void{
                var urlStream:URLStream = new URLStream();
                   var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);

                      urlStream.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR , function (e:IOErrorEvent):void{
                      urlStream.load(request);
                urlStream.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);

  • Firefox opens up an explorer window when I download a file

    Recently, Firefox started opening up an Explorer window every time I download a file. It's Better Explorer, actually, since I use that to replace the Microsoft version. The folder that opens is the target destination. So it creates multiple tabs, but I expect that it would just open up multiple instances of Windows Explorer if that's what I used.
    So if I download a dozen images, I get a dozen tabs opened. This doesn't happen with IE or Chrome. I do have multiple extensions installed, but I've gone through the options in Firefox and any relating to downloads and none of them seem to have anything that might cause this. I did check the Applications tab under the Firefox Options, since that seemed like a probable cause. But I don't see anything. And I don't recall changing anything recently, in any case. I can't see anything in Better Explorer that would cause this behavior. Which is borne out by this not occurring in other browsers. And I haven't changed anything it, either.
    I tried downloading something with NetVideoHunter and I get the same behavior. But it doesn't happen with DownloadThemAll!
    I've tried researching it on-line, but the queries I use are apparently too similar to the ones for other issues, because nothing that comes up is even close to my problem.
    As this is getting very annoying, any help would be greatly appreciated. Firefox remains my favorite desktop browser and I'm not prepared to give it up over this. But I'd hate to have to reinstall it, since I have it configure just the way I want it. And I'm not even sure that would fix the issue.
    Thanks

    Start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode safe mode] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    * https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:
    * all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
    * default theme is used (no persona)
    * userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder)
    * default toolbar layout is used (file: localstore-safe.rdf)
    * Javascript JIT compilers are disabled (prefs: javascript.options.*jit)
    * hardware acceleration is disabled (Options > Advanced > General)
    * plugins are not affected
    * preferences are not affected
    Your profile folder contains a user.js file, which includes preferences that were not created by Firefox.
    so you may want to also check for a user.js file and DELETE that.

  • Downloading a file from App Server to User's Desktop

    Hi All,
    I know that there are many threads on file upload and download :-)
    I have tried to browse through most of them and could not find my solution.
    The requirement is to place a file in the unix app server directory and allow the user to download it using a link, to the user's desktop. In case you think that this has already been answered in an old thread, kindly give me the pointer. Any sample code for doing this, would be great.
    I know how to upload a file from desktop to table/app server. I know how to download a file from a BLOB column in database.
    Thanks,
    Amit

    You would not be able to use file upload or download beans, as they interact with the database and not the filesystem.
    You would need to write a simple file reader routing in plain java.

  • I am having problems downloading files from the web. After a number of files are downloaded, the system become sluggish, and then hangs. I traced the problem to the download history file: downloads.sqlite.

    After downloading a number of 1.0 MB files, the system became very sluggish, and I started to get lots of (Not Responding) messages when trying to download or just use Firefox for browsing. Using Performance Monitor, I observed that the Firefox executable was growing larger and larger - up to as large as 1.2 GB on a system with 2.0 GB memory. Page faults were off the chart.
    Looking for a similar problem, I found one that discussed the downloads.sqlite file becoming corrupted. I first noticed that this file was over 600 MB in size, so I deleted it. I then downloaded additional files, and observed that the new downloads.sqlite file would increase in size by about 150% of the size of each file that was downloaded. Once it would get up to 500 MB in size, the system started slowing down again.
    I don't know the purpose of this file, but it appears that it keeps a full copy of every file downloaded, which may be the function of a download history file, but it does not seem correct that the file should grow in size without limit, and thus impact the system.
    I would also appear that the Firefox executable is trying to read the entire contents of this file each time a new file is downloaded, which does not seem right.
    Temporary fix is to periodically delete the downloads.sqlite file when it gets too large and starts impacting performance.. Apparently it is smart enough to open a new file if the old one is not found. I am not sure what the correct behavior for this file should be. Apparently is does not re-initialize when a new Firefox session is initiated.
    Please feel free to contact me if more information is desired. I'm not sure what details you might need to troubleshoot this type of problem.

    Hi Katy, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    What is the exact name of the file?
    Is it aim.bin?
    Which requires either Stuffit Expander, or the Unarchiver to deflate.
