Good afternoon,
I am building an application that uses ASP .NET, and Blackmoon FTP
Server, My plan currently is to automate some user processes one of
those processes is to allow them to download files in their FTP Root
directories via HTTP for our clients who are behind firewalls which
prevent them from using the FTP protocol.
So to this end i have created a page which lists all thier files out,
then provides a link that would spawn a new window which would initiate
the transfer. Couple problems exist for me being that i have only been
using ASP .NET for 2 weeks now my question is this.
1) Is there possibly a better way to initiate the file transfer without
spawning a new window
2) if spawning a new window is the route i go is there a way to encrypt
the string i send to the new page so that people can hack the file
transfer page to download any files they want.
Any suggestions on improving my approach to this problem are also welcome.
