File Download

[Steve Caliendo]

Hi,

I want to make a file on my server available for download to the client.

I set a hyperlink.navigateurl to point to my file using an ftp:// with a
valid address, but it doesn't work.

What I want is that dialog to pop up that says "You are about to download a
file from ..." Do I need to use a control other than the hyperlink one?

Thanks,

Steve

A link is handled by the browser.

For what you want, you probably want to use a redirect of some sort:

redirect.aspx?file=fileID

have that page handle displaying the bessage and then process to link to the
file in question.
