Hallo, i'm a novice. I have, on mi website, a text file. I want to permit the download of it.
If i use this code:

There are ways round this. You can either direct people to right click and 'save target as', or you can 'Stream' the file to the browser:-

HTML: Select all

<%
'--------------------------------------------
Response.Buffer = True
Dim strFilePath, strFileSize, strFileName
Const adTypeBinary = 1
strFilePath = "C:\whatever\folder\"
strFileSize = xxx (optional)
strFileName = the file name 
Response.Clear
'8*******************************8
' Requires MDAC 2.5 to be stable
' I recommend MDAC 2.6 or 2.7
'8*******************************8
Set objStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
objStream.Open
objStream.Type = adTypeBinary
objStream.LoadFromFile strFilePath
strFileType = lcase(Right(strFileName, 4))
' Feel Free to Add Your Own Content-Types Here
Select Case strFileType
Case ".asf"
ContentType = "video/x-ms-asf"
Case ".avi"
ContentType = "video/avi"
Case ".doc"
ContentType = "application/msword"
Case ".zip"
ContentType = "application/zip"
Case ".xls"
ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
Case ".gif"
ContentType = "image/gif"
Case ".jpg", "jpeg"
ContentType = "image/jpeg"
Case ".wav"
ContentType = "audio/wav"
Case ".mp3"
ContentType = "audio/mpeg3"
Case ".mpg", "mpeg"
ContentType = "video/mpeg"
Case ".rtf"
ContentType = "application/rtf"
Case ".htm", "html"
ContentType = "text/html"
Case ".asp"
ContentType = "text/asp"
Case Else
'Handle All Other Files
ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
End Select
 
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename= strFileName
Response.AddHeader "Content-Length", strFileSize
' In a Perfect World, Your Client would also have UTF-8 as the default 
' In Their Browser
Response.Charset = "UTF-8"
Response.ContentType = ContentType
Response.BinaryWrite objStream.Read
Response.Flush
objStream.Close
Set objStream = Nothing
%>
