I'm trying to knock together a little batch script for downloading files, that takes a URL as its first parameter and a local filename as its second parameter. In testing I've learned that its tripping up on spaces in the output filename, so I've tried using sed to escape them, but its not working. #!/bin/bash clear echo Downloading $1...

I'm looking for a way to sell someone a card at an event that will have a unique code that they will be able to use later in order to download a file (mp3, pdf, etc.) only one time and mask the true file location so a savvy person downloading the file won't be able to download the file more than once. It would be nice to host the file on...

In our Java web application, customer wants to upload some large files to a SFTP server and download directly from there. The customers do not want to use any third party tool rather they want this functionality in the application itself. The file upload part has been taken care of by the JFileUpload applet component & libraries. Once t...
I'm developing on the current 3.1 SDK, but I'd like my app to support all versions of the iPhone 2.2.1 onwards. I don't have a copy of the older SDKs around anymore and I can't find them on Apple's site. (We've always been at war with Eastasia.) Is there still a way to get it from the iPhone Dev Center? ...

E.X. www.mysite.domain/hashvalue1 But how they do that, since the file exists on the domain in a specific location? www.mysite.domain/downloads Is there any guide around...
This question might be better asked over on ServerFault, but since this is related to a programming project, I'll ask here. Simply put, how do I configure IIS to let me download an Access (.MDB) file the same way it lets me download .HTML, .EXE, etc. files? I've tried taking MDB out of the mime types, changing the extension to .DAT, te...
I was downloading a 200MB file yesterday with FlashGet in the statistics it showed that it was using the HTTP1.1 protocol. I was under the impression that HTTP is a request-response protocol and most generally used for web pages weighing a few KiB...I don't quite understand how it can download MB's or GB's of data and that too simultaneo...

I'll be creating a thread which sleeps 30seconds after every iteration of an endless loop for that purpose, but; how do I check a remote file's mtime without down...

At the moment, I process the form submission and generate a suitable file for the user and fire it off with suitable headers. eg... header('Content-type: "application/octet-stream"'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; file...
I'm writing code that will run on Linux, OS X, and Windows. It downloads a list of approximately 55,000 files from the server, then steps through the list of files, checking if the files are present locally. (With SHA hash verification and a few other goodies.) If the files aren't present locally or the hash doesn't match, it downloads t...
I have a site where a user can download a file. Some files are extremely large (the largest being 323 MB). When I test it to try and download this file I get an out of memory exception. The only way I know to download the file is below. The reason I'm using the code below is because the URL is encoded and I can't let the user link di...
Hello all, I have a bunch of videos stored on my Amazon S3 storage. I'm working on creating a PHP script, very similar to the one here, where users can download the videos to their hard drive. I'd like to use something like this: <?php $file_name = $_GET['file']; $file_url = 'http://www.myamazons3.com/' . $file_name; header('Content...
