if this is asp.net you wont get a file dialog on a web page.

best thing to do is as you have done print a list of files in the directory to the screen with a link for each one.

then have an iframe in the page. onclick of a link pass to the iframe the page you use to download and append the file path using GET method i.e.

download.aspx?filename=c:\mydocs\file1.jpg

then in the ONLOAD section of your web page codebehing you can use 'Request.Querystring('filename')' to attain this variable and perform the download.

this way you arent taking the user elsewhere when they download the file and it will look like its all integrated if the iframe is hidden.

in short an iframe is how most integrated upload download forms work on major websites.

wow~~ That's cool.

So I get the file names and append to the link . aha! I need this method for my search function.
But I have to research on iFrame first.

I know it in Java but not too sure if it refers to internal frame. lol.

Thanks !!! I will try this.

erm, just to clarify, it will be similer like some music web sites right?

I can also do this in gridview, with different links to the uploaded file, am I right?

correct.

correct.

correct.


happy hunting.
