Downloading the files(which are uploaded) from media folder in django 1.4.3

Question

I am using django to design the basic web pages that handles the uploading and downloading of the files to/from the media folder

Answer 1

Your code is right but there is one redundant character in download:

def download(request,file_name):
    file_path = settings.MEDIA_ROOT +'/'+ file_name
    file_wrapper = FileWrapper(file(file_path,'rb'))
    file_mimetype = mimetypes.guess_type(file_path)
    response = HttpResponse(file_wrapper, content_type=file_mimetype )
    response['X-Sendfile'] = file_path
    response['Content-Length'] = os.stat(file_path).st_size
    response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=%s/' % smart_str(file_name) 
    return response

At last line the filename attribute has a trailing slash (/): filename=%s/

Which causes the problem. Remove this slash and it works.
