How to download a file from the web

Say, a PDF.

Hi!
Your question is marked as a Firefox OS question which is Mozilla's own mobile operating system. Thanks for contacting Mozilla Support!
It seems that PDFs cannot be downloaded from the web at this moment, however there are apps from the marketplace you can download to open already downloaded PDFs available on your microSD card.

  • When i download a file from the web i get "Anti-Virus Program not found " message. This has been happening since I change anti-virus programs for CA etrust to Sophos. How do I get Firefox to recognise my new Anti-virus program?

    every time i download a file from the web (ie. a PDF file) i get "Anti-Virus Program not found " message. This has been happening since I changed anti-virus programs for CA etrust to Sophos. How do I get Firefox to recognise my new Anti-virus program?

    That is a very good warning provided by the Download Statusbar extension. Something like that should been built into Firefox. I filed this Bug report a couple of years ago, about the lack of a warning like that. <br />
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480855 <br />
    I have looked everywhere that I can think of to find a list of '''IOfficeAntiVirus providers''' ''(as mentioned in the Bug report)'' that will work with Firefox, so I can't answer that for you.
    You might want to ask the developer of the Download Statusbar extension about it. He might know which AV programs are compatible with the Windows API that Firefox uses for the download scan. <br />

  • Download a file from the web

    Helo,
    I have to download a file from the web and copy it to the file system (ex: download from http://172.26.20.22/test.csv to \\server01\teste.csv).
    I must do this using only pl/sql and java sources, I have to do this calling a procedure from pl/sql and the server doesn't have any component installed.
    I've built a java procedure using java to download the file, but it give-me AccessControlException when trying to download.
    Can anyone tel me what permissions I should have to accomplish this? Is there any other easier way?
    Thanks.

  • Bug:Downloading pdf file from the web,file name in dialog box populates with incorrect file name

    Hi Gurus
    When downloading any pdf file from the web using adobe Reader X the file name dialog box populates with incorrect file name
    compared to the saved file name of the document downloaded.
    Clarity
    1. Download any pdf file from the web
    2. Click File, Save as note the populated File Name
    3. Compare the populated file name with the saved file name of the documant yuo are downloading.
    4. The file Name is incorrect...
    Is there any work around on this issue?Can someone please help?..
    OS:Windows7
    Reader: Adobe Reader X
    I've tried a couple of other versions and still get the same results...

    Are you downloading the file (right-click, save link as), or just opening it by clicking it?
    If the latter, then what happens is the file is loaded to the temporary internet files folder by IE and assigned a temporary name, which is then used when you're trying to save it.
    You can test this out by going to File - Document Properties before trying to save and looking at the file's location.

  • Downloading a file from the web

    Hi,
    I'm trying to implement an automatic update feature in one of my applications. This is done by downloading a jar from from my web server. I've written this method to download the file, but the file it downloads it says isn't a valid archive - so there's something wrong with my download method, but I don't know what. Any ideas on what's wrong with this method? Or any other ideas on how to download the file? I don't want to use FTP as I don't want to include my username / password in the application code.
        public static void getRemoteFile(String fileName) {
            try {
                FileWriter out = new FileWriter( "new.jar", true );
                URL url = new URL(fileName);
                URLConnection ex = url.openConnection();
                BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( ex.getInputStream() ) );
                String inputLine = "";
                while ( ( inputLine = in.readLine() ) != null ) {
                    out.write( inputLine );
                out.close();
                in.close();
            } catch( Exception e ) {
                // do nothing
        } // end the main method

    Thanks for the replies. I created this method instead, but I keep getting this error:
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI scheme is not "file"
    Any ideas what this means?
                File file = new File( new URI("http://www.mydomain.com/test.jar") );
                InputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file); // copy target
                OutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("new.jar"); // copy destination
                int nSize = fis.available();
                byte [] puffer = new byte[nSize];
                fis.read( puffer, 0, nSize );
                fos.write( puffer, 0, puffer.length );
                fis.close();
                fos.close();

  • Why I cannot see downloaded PDF files from the web?

    I'm getting a message: "The file could not be opened. It may be demaged or use a file format that Preview (or PDF) doesn't recognize".
    However my PDF is updated and it works with my older PDF files saved on my Mac.
    Thanks for your help.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
    Test. If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • How to download an applet from the web sites?

    There are few applets I saw online that I would like to download for my project. But I don't know is it to be downloaded. Is it by copying the HTML code & embeded into the HTML coding? Or can I just view it with normal applet viewer? Thanks! God Bless!

    Try to trick the page (take care at the copyright)
    Consider the address is www.address.com/dir1/pag1.html
    Check the source of the page and check the link to the applet.
    Consider the link:
    <applet code=dir2/appletName.class ....
    Then enter into the browser: www.address.com/dir1/dir2/appletName.class and you will download the applet.
    The html file you can download using right-click - view source
    Good luck

  • Download file from the web

    Hey,
    I'm struggling to download files from the web.
    The first approach I though of was simply opening the url in Safari, but it would just open the file, not download it.
    Then there is an application called "URL Access Scripting", but I can't figure out how it works.
    That might sound stupid, since it has only a download and an upload command, but they do not work.
    The download function asks for a file specification, what the #$^& is that?
    I tried supplying a file, but to no avail.
    For obvious reasons I can't make an alias of a not yet existing file, so what do I put in there?
    It seems file specification is a deprecated format.
    My last resort was running curl in a shell script, which works, but that feels hackish.
    Is there any good way to do this?

    Hi pepsel,
    Let's take an example. Suppose that you want to download “UltiCalc Mac 2.5” (freeware) from [this Web page|http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/utilities/ulticalcmac.html]. You can proceed as follows:
    --BEGINNING OF SCRIPT
    set theURL to "http://wsidecar.apple.com/cgi-bin/nph-reg3rdpty2.pl/product=23023&cat=25&platf orm=osx&method=sa/ulticalc_mac.zip"
    set theFile to "/Users/pierre/Desktop/My_download.zip" -- same extension as the file to download
    tell application "URL Access Scripting" to download theURL to theFile
    --END OF SCRIPT
    Of course, you should replace “pierre” with the name of your own home folder.
    Hope it can help.

  • Lately pdf files from the Web do not display properly; what is wrong and how can I fix it so I don't have to use IE?

    I am a professor and frequently need to open pdfs of academic journal articles from electronic databases. Within the last two or three weeks, when I try to do this using Firefox, only the first page of the pdf displays and the rest are blank. In addition, a bar appears across the top with the message "This pdf file may not display properly." So I have had to switch to Internet Explorer to open the files and do my research. What is going on and how can I fix it so I can open pdf files from the Web in Firefox and have them display properly?

    My question is simple - why would you put an application in production that has a lot of bugs? To replace a good and steady Adobe product? My customers will believe that I put a pathetic fallible form online. They are not sophisticated on computers so I just tell them to use IE. Ugh
    I must agree with pgwebgirl!
