Rename File

[shapper]

Hello,

I want to make a file available to a user for download on an ASP.NET
page.
So I need to have a button that when clicked, the file is download.
However, before the file is downloaded, I want it to be renamed so the
file name that the users gets is different that the one in the server.
The extension will be the same.

Any idea of how to do this?

Thanks,
Miguel

Hello shapper,

instead of putting direct link to file on webform, put the linkButton and
in the codebehind read your file as stream and send it to user
in this case u can send is with any name

You will have to write your own aspx that streams file to the browser
and append following line to header
Content-disposition: attachment; filename=fname.ext
