how to make a web page where user can download file

Dear Shital,

Code to upload a file on Server using WebClient method:

System.Net.WebClient webClient = new System.Net.WebClient();

string sourceFilePath = @"D:\MyDocuments\DataFile.xml" ;

string webAddress = "http://www.YourDomainName.com/ClientFiles/";

string destinationFilePath= webAddress + "DataFile.xml";

webClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domain");

webClient.UploadFile(destinationFilePath, "PUT", sourceFilePath);

webClient.Dispose();

Code to download a file from Server using WebClient method:

System.Net.WebClient webClient = new System.Net.WebClient();

string webAddress = "http://www.YourDomainName.com/ClientFiles/";

string sourceFilePath = webAddress + "DataFile.xml";

string destinationFilePath = @"D:\MyDocuments\DataFile.xml";

webClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domain");

Downloading Files
There are two ways of downloading a file from a web site using WebClient, depending on whether we want to save the file, or process the contents of the directly within your application. If we simply want to save the file then we should call the DownloadFile() method takes two parameters, The URL from where we want to retrieve the file, and the file name ( or path) that we want to save the file to.

The solution is very simple and below is the code which achieves the goal. Here I am downloading a file asynchronously on Button Click

private void buttonDownloadFile_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

  string url = @"http://chandu.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/chandu.jpg";



  //Create an instance of WebClient

  WebClient client = new WebClient();



  //Hookup DownloadFileCompleted Event

  client.DownloadFileCompleted += new AsyncCompletedEventHandler(client_DownloadFileCompleted);



  //Start the download and copy the file to D:\Pics

  client.DownloadFileAsync(new Uri(url), @"D:\PIcs\chandu.jpg");

}



void client_DownloadFileCompleted(object sender, AsyncCompletedEventArgs e)

{

  MessageBox.Show("File downloaded");

}

//Sample code to download files using WebClient

string remoteUri = "http://www.contoso.com/library/homepage/images/";

string fileName = "ms-banner.gif", myStringWebResource = null;

// Create a new WebClient instance.

WebClient myWebClient = new WebClient();

// Concatenate the domain with the Web resource filename.

myStringWebResource = remoteUri + fileName;

Console.WriteLine("Downloading File \"{0}\" from \"{1}\" .......\n\n", fileName, myStringWebResource);

// Download the Web resource and save it into the current filesystem folder.

myWebClient.DownloadFile(myStringWebResource,fileName);		

Console.WriteLine("Successfully Downloaded File \"{0}\" from \"{1}\"", fileName, myStringWebResource);

Console.WriteLine("\nDownloaded file saved in the following file system folder:\n\t" + Application.StartupPath);
