force-download

I want to download the files silently or without prompt to the computer using PHP? OR when click on the download link, can I force to download in defining location? Like C: /dir/dir/myfile.zip ? Note that I am asking this for my internal use only, nothing to harm the users. You can't. It simply isn't possible, due to security issues. Now, if these are systems on your own private network, and drives are shared and what not, you could write code to write out the files from the server. But, that is all outside of the user's browser. Other methods have included external applications running on the

Using JAVA, I'm trying to force the browser to download files. Here is the code I currently use: response.reset(); response.resetBuffer(); response.setContentType(mimeType); response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + fileName + "\""); InputStream in = new FileInputStream(file); OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream(); IOUtils.copy(in, out); out.flush(); out.close(); in.close(); response.flushBuffer(); It works almost well, but when forcing the download of a docx document (MS Office 2007+), the downloaded file is corrupted (at least, that's what MS Office tells

I'm trying to serve large zip files to users. When there are 2 concurrent connections, the server runs out of memory (RAM). I increased the amount of memory from 300MB to 4GB (Dreamhost VPS) and then it worked fine. I need to allow a lot more than 2 concurrent connections. The actual 4GB would allow something like 20 concurrent connections (too bad). Well, the current code I'm using, needs the double of memory then the actual file size. That's too bad. I want something like "streaming" the file to user. So I would allocate not more than the chunk being served to users. The following code is

Ultimate goal: I want to create a webpage where a user can enter information in forms. With that information I want to create a html file (below called test-download.html) by inserting the information given into a template and then force a download. Since I want to demonstrate this at an upcoming workshop where people will be using this at the "same time" I would like to not save the file on the server and just force the download. So far: I have this in my html file (test.html): <form action="test.php" method="post"> To file: <input type="text" name="tofile" /> <input type="submit" /> </form>
