User download files from web site

I have files I want to allow users to download from my site.
Problem is that I just don't know how to do that. And does
Dreamweaver make that it possible?

Deja vu all over again...
To force a download without using Zip files, you will need to
run a server
side script - the flavor depends on which programming
languages your server
supports.
This one uses php.

Otherwise, search www.HotScripts.com for other Forced
Download scripts that
will work on your server.

Errors when downloading files from web sites

I cannot download files from Firefox anymore on my home computer. I click on the download link and it takes me to another page that is blank. I can download just fine w/o any problems from my work computer, download box/window appears just fine. I'm using the same Windows 7, Firefox 8.0 program and same website that gives me the error message from my home computer. Is there a pop-up blocker, cookie or plug-in that I need to turn off/on? How do I enable downloads so I can save to my home computer?

Clear cache and cookies and try again. Also, check your firewall permissions for Firefox 8

Cannot download files from web sites using 4.0, and slower. Do I need to prep my Mac in any way prior to installing 4.0?

I use browser to grab small game programs off various websites, which then run on apps I have installed. When I attempt to download these files in version 4, I get an "unknown error has occurred" pop-up, & no file. This has not been an issue w/previous version.
Am I required to change any system prefs after installing 4.0? I have de-installed and gone back to previous system until I know what the issue is... odd, all other upgrade installs have been easy and simple.
4.0 also runs notably slower.

Since I downloaded version 4 of Firefox, I'm having the following problems: Extremely slow at loading all web sites, can't view PDF files from web sites, and lots of unresponsive script messages. How can I fix this?

I downloaded version 4 of Firefox this week and have been having problems since. Firefox is now extremely slow at loading all web sites. Trying to view PDF files from web sites crashes Firefox. I'm getting lots of unresponsive script messages. How can I fix this?

Using AMP to download and save FLV files from web sites?

I thought I had heard months ago that this new media player was going to allow you to download and save the FLV files from web sites like YouTube and others, where a direct download while possible, isn't the easiest thing to currently do. But I don't really see any way in this new media player to download and save files from web sites....it's plenty willing to play them if they're already saved on your hard drive, but I thought one of the reasons for Adobe building this was to make it easier to get them in the first place?

I'd have to agree. This is one of the most useless products I have seen from a company of this standard. Why they continue to provide this product as an example of what can be done with AIR, is bewildering. Myself and others have posted over and over again that the player deletes the saved movies at some random time, an hour or two hours after they appear to be saved.
What is the point of having a 'saved' icon the CD ICON if that movie will be deleted FOR NO BLOODY reason. I just wasted 400 mb of my quota dowloading moves 3 times...!! just to realise that the application deletes them from the VERY CACHE that it copies them to.
Adobe, if this is what I can expect while trying to view the tutorials for FLEX what will the development experience be like. Myself and others are fed up with posting this bug to Adobe, just to be ignored. How much stress to do you want on your servers before you WAKE UP.
I have been in 4 meetings over the last 2 weeks and everyone has remarked about the 'experience' trying to view these tutorials.
Wake up to yourself. If you want to charge $500 for FLEX then atleast fix this crappy player.
PS. I note that this player is supposedly built with Flex and that the list control truncates rather than wraps, in addition, no 'tool tips', dates are not localised, the video keeps unpausing itself each time I return from the downloads page, no settings for where files should be cached. Occasionally the underlining (grey) window bar appears over the top of the flash window edge. I've used the application for an hour or so...
Where is the alternative... I'll be glad when Adobe get some real competition.. so that they pay attention to input. A big wastefull site if all support does is read and ignore posts.!!!!!!!!!!!!

What type of file? From what site? What Apps have you downloaded for it?
Perhaps if you provide details of what you are doing we can provide more precise help.

Where can i get an example of Viewing wap, downloading files from wap site?

as we know, almost every simulator has this function. now i wanna write the same function via MIDP, how?
And, anyone know nextel i730, it's very weird that it cannot download file from the wap site but other phones can do it from the same site.
any help would be appreciated.

WAP = HTTP. Just open a http page in midp and read the data. Displaying WAP in MIDP is another thing, since it does not have facilities for that. Why should it anyway? All phones that hava java, already have a W(AP/EB) browser.

Recover Files from Web Site I created?

I created a site at mac.com but the original files were accidently deleted. Is there any way to download or import the flies from the web site into iweb so I can work with them? Thanks!

iWeb stores your website data in a domain.sites2 file located in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb. You have to have this file to open your site in iWeb.
There is no way to import the published files. This is why it is sensible to make a backup of this file and to keep it updated.

How to Generate a Report Based on User's Parameters from Web Site

Hi, all,
I am trying to use Oracle Developer 6.0 Report Builder to generate report based on what user types in from the web site. Since I am a novice, I am wondering if anybody would help me with the following questions:
1. How can I create a report based on user's parameters?
Assuming that I have 2 text fields EMPNO and DEPT on the web site, after user types in some value, how can I pass these parameters into my query, can I do something like:
select ENAME, JOB, EADDRESS from EMP
where EMPNO =
some_reference_of_parameters_from_user
or is there any other way to achieve this functionality?
2. How can I pass a PDF format report back to user after the report is generated?
Any help is greately appreciated!!
Best regards.
Judy

Hello,
In the Report Builder, create two user parameters, and set the parameter name, datatype, width, and default values to what you want. Modify the query and put in a where clause (e.g., where deptno = :p_deptno). When you request the report with PARAMFORM=YES on the URL, it'll generate a default parameter form in HTML and allow the user to enter in the selected parameter values. Also set DESTYPE=CACHE&DESFORMAT=PDF on the URL to get the output back as PDF.
If you upgrade to Reports 6i, you can customize the default HTML parameter form.

Plug-in PDF, Internet Explorer, unable to open a pdf file from web site. Question mark

Hello,
A computer where Acrobat 9 Standard and Acrobat Reader 9 have been installed.
When I try to read a pdf file from a web site and read it in IE, I get a popup whith a question mark and no text.
The pdf file is not open.
I have try to reinstall the last reader but the problem is not solved.
Thanks for your help.
fabrice

Any ideas how to solve this issue?
Try using Protected Mode Off. Then you will be at the same level of security that those other programs are running at. You could also try elevating the iexplore.exe task. That would turn off Protected Mode in that task automatically but then
you would be running also with Administrator level authority which might be excessive.

Opening file from web site in JavaScript

I have some JavaScript I've written (Windows PC platform with PS CS3) that opens a legal notice (jpg file) which runs from the File | Scripts menu and places the legal notice jpg on the bottom of the currently open Photoshop document. It opens and works well when the jpg file is on the local drive (c:) or network (//MachineName) but won't open if I try to open it from a web site (see example below). I'm getting "Error 12233: Expected a reference to an existing File/Folder". Is there any work around for this?
This works...
// Open legal notice document
var legalDoc = open(File("C:/Droke/EpLegalNotice/EpLegalNotice_US_Black.jpg"))
This doesn't work (and I know the file is there because I can paste the following URL into the browser and it displays the image)...
// Open legal notice document
var legalDoc = open(File("http://www.somesite.com/EpLegalNotice/EpLegalNotice_US_Black.jpg"))

There must be something else in these sites, and yet, you can
get SWF from any site,
even the most tricky one but it require skills which
obviously you don't have because
if you did you would know that AC_RunActiveContent.js does
not hide SWF files.
It's purposes is for something totally different.

Problem downloading files from some site

Hi,
when I try to download from some site,for example this:
"http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/0.8.4/macosx/vlc-0.8.4.dmg"
or from sourceforge.net nothing is downloaded and on the window of safari, in the title bar, appears for example: "vlc-0.8.4.dmg.gif 1x1 pixel".
what can I do?
Thanks!

Hi Fillipo,
By the sounds of things you have NetBarrier installed.
Check your ad-blocking settings to see if it's blocking the download of files from some of these sites.
