iis ftp: Hi,

In ASP page, I have a button on the web page. when it is clicked, it
should open the windows "Save As" Dialog Box of client m/c with the
default directory which i will be specifying.
When user clicks on "Save" button of the Dialog Box, i have to
transfer(ftp) the file from webserver to client m/c.
Once the transfer is complete, i should show the status message on the
web page.
Can anyone help me about this, how it can be done.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
Bindu

Via ftp? well, since you on web, why ftp?
You app can just stream out the binary to client machine (upon user clicking
the save button).

In ftp case, you would need to have a ftp component that will initiate from
client machine to your ftp server and download file, then you need to
monitor when the download is finished to display the status message. This is
more complex then previous method.
