File Download: I now this topic is redundent, however...

I have searched for filedownload and there are many post in here about it. However, I couldn't find my answer.
Does anybdy know how to precede the file that is going to be downloaded by a directory structure?
In other words in the Save As dialog box I want to be able to display the correct directory it should be downloaded to and not have to make the user select a directory?
Can this be done?
Thanks!

No, you can't, and generally speaking, it's not a good idea anyway. Users on Windows are going to have a different directory structure then Unix or Mac users. And if you say it has to go to C:\Document and Settings\... well, I can tell you I'd resent that as a user, cuz I don't put anything in My Documents or any of those directories on principle.

  • WRT54GL not allowing FLV file download to run properly

    We are attempting to download Flash content for homebound schooling and the downloads are running very slowly when connected (wired or wireless) through our linksys router. Through the router we are seeing less than 20K per second but if I bypass the router and connect the computer directly to the Verizon DSL modem, I see about 250-300K. Are there any controls available on the router to allow these to download normally?
    We have not seen the same sort of slowness with any other type of content but I saw this with just trying to transfer the material to the desktop so the flash player was not even involved. I can't see how the router would be effecting only ".flv" content files. Right now this is unworkable and the router will need to go if it can't be made to work. Same issue with XP Media Center  & Vista.

    I had been having some other annoying issues with this router so I decided to replace it rather than fight with it further. The new router, a Belkin N+ seems to work fine on the flv files.
    One of the annoying issues that the LinkSys router had was that it would often assign the same IP address to multiple PCs on the network. I had decreased the DHCP lease time but that did not seem to help. I'd put a laptop back on the network after the lease should have expired, and sometime it would be assigned the same address as a system already on the network. 
    I plan to keep the linksys as a backup so if I ever put it back into service, I will plan to update the firmaware at that point.

  • File downloads not working most of the time

    [I originally included this problem in another post; I should know better. I'm posting it separately here in hopes of getting some feedback about this other issue I'm having.]
    When I click on a link on a Web page to download a file (maybe the latest version of Firefox), the Save dialog that appears almost always displays the file name without the extension. For example, I just tried downloading the Firefox installer. Instead of displaying the name as "Firefox Setup 13.0.1.exe", it displayed "Firefox Setup 13.0.1". The file type is listed as "binary file". Every once in a while (maybe one in ten tries), if I quit and relaunch Firefox, immediately return to the download page, and click the file link again, the file name and file type will appear correctly. Almost always, I have to resort to using some other browser to download the file.
    I've tried deleting the browser cache; resetting Firefox from the about:support page; installing a new copy by downloading the installer file from the Mozilla site. None of this has helped.
    The thing that mystifies me the most is the fact that, maybe 10% of the time, the file download succeeds. This (the file download succeeding) seems to happen only immediately after I launch the browser.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I followed the instructions and deleted the MimeTypes.rdf file, then relaunched Firefox. Unfortunately, nothing changed.
    I did notice something strange and possibly informative, however: When I tried to download the Firefox installer, the file once again failed to download. The Downloads window that pops up when I download a file gave the full file name, including the ".exe", and displayed "Canceled - mozilla.net". It appears that the file type isn't lost after all, but the download is canceled.
    Any idea what could cause this?

  • ******Why couldn't File Download Box pop up???

    Hi all,
    I want to use applet to call the IE' file download box which does the csv download job.
    Here is my idea:
    First, click the menu of applet to call the servlet
    Scecond,call the IE file download box by this servlet invoked by the applet.
    The following code snippets intend to show the file download dialog:
    String fileName = "test.csv"
    response.setContentType("APPLICATION/OCTET-STREAM");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\""+fileName+"\"");
    unfortunately, the box didn't show!!!:-(
    One thing can be clear that with the IE or NetScape supported ,the file download dialog can be raised by writing the code above.
    I wanna make two things clear:
    No1:Is it true the file download box is part of function of the browser?
    No2:Is there any solution to this problem?
    Thanks a lot!

    it happens with the keyboard disconnected. I was surprised it booted up without going through the user screen so I didn't have to enter my password.
    and on another note, I'm sure it's obvious, but how do I boot up from my external drive with my imac? the other day when I was having serious issues while trying to fix this problem, I was unable to boot from my install disc
    thanks so much for your time

    Upgrade iTunes to the latest version. It should be 10.5.3.

    Hello, hillbent. 
    Thank you for the question.  If you have verified that iTunes 11.1 is installed, you will need to rebuild your iTunes library file.  Below, I have included the article that walks you through this process.  Start with the section labeled Re-creating the iTunes Library file.

  • I am unable to apply my downloaded update. When I try to apply it and restart firefox, it still says 'apply downloaded update now...'. Why can't I apply this update and what do I do about it?

    I am unable to apply my downloaded update. When I try to apply it and restart firefox, it still says 'apply downloaded update now...'. Why can't I apply this update and what do I do about it?

    Checked out that link and everything seems to be in order on this machine at this time.
    I only have CC installed on this one machine, not even my secondary machine like is permitted. it seems odd that I'm asked to re-accept the Licence Agreement as often as I am. If I had to guess, it's almost every week, if not multiple times some weeks, that all the software will decide I should have to view the licence agreement.
    Edit: I've never had any noticeable "errors" activating or anything like that. I just get asked to do it quite frequently.
    This activation screen isn't too annoying (it involves clicking one single button), but like I stated earlier, if I'm trying to launch the software by double-clicking on a PSD, AI, PPROJ, AEP, etc... that file will fail to open.
    I feel like that's probably not really a bug, but it is frustrating, since I did launch the application with the intent to edit that specific file I tried to open.
    Again, something that you guys may consider working on.
    Another annoyance is that: agreeing to the licence agreement is a per-application task, so if I see that Licence Agreement dialogue window by opening Photoshop (for example), I know that every other piece of software I have in the suite (Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, Audition) will be showing me that screen on it's next launch. Probably deliberate for legal purposes that I can't just agree once for the whole suite, but heck, it would save me a lot of minor headaches if it was a unified agreement.

  • Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how

    Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how to resolve it. This is my problem: 
    Have downloaded for example: Queen – Bohemium Rhapsody from a compilation album as well as a few complete Queen Album CDs into the iTunes library and then put them into playlists,
    When I go onto my phone and select Queen on the MUSIC app using Songs tab at the bottom of the screen it will display all Queen songs and their resective Alum pics, that is all those not in a complilation album, .
    If I know the song title I can select the songs tab and find the song that way,
    I’ve tried fiddling with the settings in the iTunes app by going to ‘get info’ tab and trying to sort the problem out that way but am not having much luck.What I want the phone to do is show, for example all Queens songs including those in compilation albums. Can this be done, would be grateful for any ideas on how it can be done, that is if ic can be done, any ideas
    Thanks for your help

    Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.
