Downloads to a Forced Directory?

[txbakers]

Let's suppose that a person stores a file for backup online. Then, when it comes time to retrieve that file, is it possible to specify in ASP code the directory to which it will download directory?

I've only seen situations where a file is downloaded and the OS asks for the path to save it. I want to force a particular path.

You'll probably need to make an update client then, a small .exe that they can save where-ever they like, and when they run it, it downloads the bulk of the files to a set directory.

I thought about that for the "updates" section - just wrap that in an installer, get the proper path from the Registry and poof, I can put the files there.

But with the one database file that would be too complicated.

I'm going to have lots of users, and each will be able to upload their db files to the server for backup. then they need a simple way to retrieve it, without having to hunt for the proper folder.
