Force ftp download of images
|
|
|
| Hi,
Is it possible to make the download dialog box show when a user selects on a
link to view an image?
i have a link
<a href="ftp://file1.jpg">download</a>
When the user clicks on theis link, instead of showing the image, the user
is presented with a download dialog box that asks the user where they would
like to download this image.
Thanks

| this is pure mime typing handling, since browse is able to display it, it
will show it on the page.
if you need download, stream it down to client. google "asp binary stream"

| Hi,
thanks for the tips. I had a look at microsoft's support page and tried to
implement the content-disposition header. However, i have several images on
the page and i want the internet browser to open the download dialog when the
uer clicks on the hyperlink that directs them to the image source (located on
a ftp server). Is it possible?
I noticed that the content disposition header applies to the entire page. so
when a user loads the page it will bring up the download dialog box before
the page loads.

only to certain extension?
