<CFCONTENT> donwload question 1

[FurqanAhmed]

I programmed a cfm page to allow users to download some text files. The code in this cfm page is

---------------------------------------------------
<cfif IsDefined('Url.Rep') >
<cfset fileName = "C:\Inetpub\

http://wwwroot\Reports\#Url.Rep#"

>


<cfheader name="Content-disposition" value="attachment;filename=#fileName#">
<cfcontent type="text/plain" file="#fileName#">
</cfif>

-----------------------------------------------------

it works fine but the download dialog box displays page name in file name filed. Can anyone tell me how to set the name in the "file name" filed to the name of the file that the user is downloading?

Thanks

I use soemthing like you, and it works for me?

<cfheader name="Content-disposition" value="attachment;filename=#file_name#">
<cfcontent file="#file_name#" type="application/zip">

it will display the page name since fileName = "C:\Inetpub\

http://wwwroot\Reports\#Url.Rep#"

you should replace the fileName with the actual file name you are trying to send...


hope it helps...

he said it is displaying the page name, not the filename.

Thanks for the hint Falconseye. The file name <cfheader> should be the file name and not the complete path. I just changed the <cfheader> to

<cfheader name="Content-disposition" value="attachment;filename=#Url.Rep#">


Thanks a lot
