Download an ASP file?

[HIM]

Hi everybody

I have created a website for my rowing club, and would like to be able to download files from the site. It is no problem to display all the directories and the files. I have allready created the browser, but I have realized that my knowledge of ASP and HTML is not enough when it comes to downloading an ASP page.....

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

Hmmm... I have seen posts here and there about some way to encode the file so that a browser won't recognize it -- that would be the only way to do it directly --

Another idea (if all you want to do is let someone download your source code) would be to zip the file up and stick it out there with a link so that someone could download it...

There, there's always the response.write option... Just response.write(sourceCode) to the browser in a literal string fully enclosed in ""'s so that it will just write out whatever is in between the quotes.

Aside of those three options (and I don't know how to do the first), there is no way that I know of to allow someone to download the file, because the browser will recognize the extenstion and, therefore, attempt to render the page to the browser.

if you have the ASP on a server that support ASP, the problem is , however you download it on port 80(Web Browsers), the server is always going to encode the data inside of <% %> and such, this is one of the secure features of ASPs. Karl Blessing aka kb244{fastHACK}

secure features of ASP's? I remember when all you had to do was add a full stop to the end of an asp file to download the asp file that was one serious bug

e.g.

http://www.website.com/fools.asp.

<--- note the full stop
