File transfer from server to client (Silent Download)

[Jay]

Hi,

I have some unique situations where i need to transfer a file from
Server to client but without any Open or Save dialog box shown to the
user. The file should save itself directly to client machine.

I want to transfer word (.doc) file from server to client without
open/save dialog box.
Transfer of file should be silent and invisible to client.

Can anyone guide me how to do this?
I am stuck on this one since last 1 week and have no idea how to do
it......
Help now would help me a lot.


Thanks in advance

You can't for safety reasons at least not without installing something
client side or altering client side security. The whole picture may help
(for example for intranet workstations it could perhaps be done instead from
the lcoal network using a session start script).

look at the Background Transfer service used by windows 2003. It might help
you.
