Saving a file from a website to the local drive

From New To Java thread - nobody knew the answer, i guess! :(
Hi people,
I have a number of URLs at hand that point to certain class files, e.g.
http://www.mywebsite.com/classes/MyClass.class
What i would like to do is to download MyClass.class into a temporary folder (or wherever) on the local disk. Does anyone know how to do this? I've read about HttpURLConnection etc., but its all very confusing!
Cheers,
JG

u can do
URL url = new URL("http://www.mywebsite.com/classes/MyClass.class");
InputStream in = url.openStream();
then do a loop of reading the bytes in, and writing them out to some FileOutputStream

How to download a clob file from a table to my local drive?

Hii Everyone,
I'm havig a table of this structure
Create table r_dummy
c_clob_file clob
How to download this file into my local drive?Please give me some hints.Can this be done using dbms_lob??
Regards
Raghu.

You need to share a directory on your local drive and give permissions for the database server to write a file on your local drive. Or you may create the file on your database server and copy the same to your local drive.
conn / as sysdba
create or replace directory ext_tab_dir as 'C:\ExtTab_Dir';
/* you may need to give a network path in place of C:\ExtTab_Dir if you want to create the file on your local drive. The directory should be created manually by you on the file system*/
grant read, write on directory ext_tab_dir to scott;
conn scott/tiger
declare
 clb clob;
 l_output utl_file.file_type;
 len integer(6);
 vstart integer(6):=1;
 bytelen integer(6):=32000;
 my_vr varchar2(32000);
 x integer(6);
begin
 l_output := utl_file.fopen('EXT_TAB_DIR','Clob_File.txt','w',32767);
 select c_clob_file into clb
 from r_dummy;
 len:=dbms_lob.getlength(clb);
 x:=len;
 while vstart < len and bytelen > 0
 loop
 dbms_lob.read(clb,bytelen,vstart,my_vr);
 utl_file.put(l_output,my_vr);
 utl_file.fflush(l_output);
 vstart:=vstart+bytelen;
 x:=x-bytelen;
 if x< 32000 then
 bytelen := x;
 end if;
 end loop;
 utl_file.fclose(l_output);
exception when others then
 utl_file.fclose(l_output);
 raise;
end;

Files wont copy from Server via AFP to local Drive

Hi All,
I'm having trouble copying iMovie project files from an xServe to a local drive. I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.9, and what happenes is when I open the mount and find the file, I drag it accross the the users home folder-> movies folder and copy it. Problem is the source file is 3.14 gigs, and when it copys it copys a file thats 997KB is size, everytime and says its done sucsessfully. Obviously the file wont open.
Can anyone Help?

I guess your having some permisssions lingo. iMovie projects are folders that are presented by the Finder as if it were files.

Saving files from a website

Previously, when I saved a PDF from a website, it goes to the last subdirectory location. However, with Acrobat Reader 9, it goes to the root directory. Any help so that I could go to the last subdirectory? Thanks,

In your image you are telling the function to create a file and the path to the file is a folder, that I assume is existing. You must provide the full path including the file name to the Open/Create function.
It would be helpful if you posted what the error you got was as well to make sure this is what is happening.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Can I save pdf files from a website to ipad2?

Hit the link for the PDF-you will be given option to open in safari or iBooks(or any other program able o open PDFs).
That's not what she asked about. She asked about saving PDFs, not just opening them and reading them. While Safari lets you open PDF documents, it does not let you save them. In order to save them, you'll need to use a web browser that permits downloading. I use Atomic Web Browser and can confirm that it does permit downloading and saving of PDF documents.

When you open a pdf in iBooks, it's automatially saved there.

How to link individual picker view selections to download an individual file from a website or other location such as dropbox using Xcode?

Alright, the question I have has to deal with how to link an app to a website to download files. How, or is it even possible to link individual picker view selections to download an individual file from a website or other location such as dropbox using xcode. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but if anyone can help or can send a link to a place that can, I would greatly appreciate it!

I am not getting anywhere with deploying my application or
applet.
I have set up my bc4j project. It contains all my VO info,
links, application module. (proj a)
I then have another project with DbInfo in it(has all my rowset
info), Multiple Frames, and my Applet.java file.
Actually I have an Applet.java file and a Application.java file
because I was seeing if both/either worked. Anyway they seem the
same, except for that extra window that comes up when you run the
applet.
I follow the steps in the oracle directions (from earlier post).
And all seems ok. But at ---->
[*] Select the subdirectory under myhtml where your applet's HTML
file
is located, and enter the directory path of the 'staging'
directory you
created in step 3 above, if different from the default.</li>
[*]Select the HTML files that JDeveloper created to run your
applet.</li>
[*]Select all of the Java source files in your project that make
up the
applet.</li>
I have no HTML file associated with my applet, at least that I
know of.
So do I need to create one, or should it of been done
automatically.
Also, I trying to figure out what will be the best way to deploy
my project. Applet or stand alone application is what my first
choices have been so far. I have read that there is some issues
with applets being served from a different server than the
database. So a stand alone application was my front runner, but
I haven't gotten either way to work yet.

Firefox freezes when opening an adobe acrobat (PDF) file from any website

Firefox freezes when opening an adobe acrobat (PDF) file from any website. This only started happening after the latest update of Firefox was installed. Do you have a fix?

Hi Susan,
The Adobe plugin in Internet Explorer is a bit different from the one in Firefox, however they're all made by Adobe and they usually come with Adobe Reader.
When you open a PDF file in Firefox, it "calls" Adobe Reader to help it read the file. In this case, the Adobe Reader takes over, and it is responsible for freezing your browser.
I suggest you try the last 4 solutions presented on the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] (start with "Re-install the plugin" through "Re-install Adobe Reader").
Good Luck :D

How do I open an xlsx file from a website rather than downloading it?

When I try to open an .xlsx file from a website, it downloads and does not open. Before the last update, it would just open the file. How do I get it to open when I click on it rather than just download it?

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, that didn't work...it still just downloads it to the temp file and doesn't open. Any other ideas? It worked before the last update of Firefox.

Cannot download files from certain websites: log-in prompt

Hi, I am for some reason getting a log-in prompt when clicking on downloadable files from certain websites (pdf files, etc.). It is especially strange because it is happening on multiple sites, which gave me no problem downloading in the past. This is particular to my computer, and it is happening in different locations, so it can't be a problem with my isp or something.
I am getting this prompt:
"To view this page, you need to log in to area "PAGE TITLE" on "www.address.com:80"
Your password will be sent in the clear."
(Where PAGE TITLE and address.com are specific to the page I'm trying to access)
I've tried giving a username and password, but it didn't work. I tried emptying my cache and deleting cookies, renewing my ip address, to no avail. I do not use any proxies, so I am really confused now.
I've found no documentation of anyone else having this issue.
Any help would be appreciated!

i figured it out... it was just a strange coincidence, nothing wrong after all.

HI Hema,
A work around i see is to use run operating system command before message processing option in sender file adapter.
Here I'd write a .bat file which which will execute a java class..
Basically I'll write a java class to download the file from the URL and keep it. And this file will be picked up by XI.
May be the same thing can also be achieved using scripts but i have no idea on dat...
Any how, my java code segment wud be something like
          try {
                  String webFile =
                     "http://www.dilbert.com/comics/dilbert/archive/images/dilbert2002222271107.gif";
                  URL url = new URL(webFile);
                  InputStream is = url.openStream();
                  FileOutputStream fos=new FileOutputStream("C://MyFolder//dilbert2002222271107.gif");
                  int oneChar;
                    while ((oneChar=is.read()) != -1)
                       fos.write(oneChar);
                    is.close();
                    fos.close();
          } catch (Exception e) {
               // TODO: handle exception
               e.printStackTrace();

Corrupted content error when trying to download .pdf file from one website.

Unable to download .pdf file from a website, but IE8 provided the download without hesitation.
Both v7 and v8 produced the same message:
"Corrupted content error"
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected.
This may be a particular website problem, or it may be common to the particular industry segment and their protocols.
I have followed the help leads and examined the profile for Firefox as used in this instance. Nothing untoward seemed to pop out as a causal factor.

Reworked some of the javascript for our webserver and fixed the problem.
