Download stream to file

End ;. Improve this question. Can you elaborate a bit on what you mean with "virtually mapped"? The system then creates this reference to the directory at runtime. You can browse to the files via the web URL without issue — mp3duck. The filename is indeed accessibile via URL. If you know the URL and the file extension opens the save as prompt in the browser or is this one of your problems? Otherwise, user's suggestion seems to be the way to go. Add a comment.

Also there is no reason to create the Stream variable, in the beginning, you should create it where you use it near the GetResponseStream call — data.

It won't compile. And the purpose of the buffer is to keep memory usage down on the web server. As Sharon mentioned, this code doesn't compile. Response; — Jeremy Wiggins. The title is determined by the end-user's browser. The default folder in which to save the file to be downloaded.

The folder name is displayed in the dialog box for downloading the file. The folder can be changed by the user. By default, files are saved to the default download location that is configured in the end-user's browser. The type of file that can be downloaded to the client computer. The type is displayed in the dialog box for downloading the file.

Again, see Jon Skeet's second snippet. It has that same characteristic, of writing a chunk of data at a time. Why not use a FileStream object?

Create fileFullPath, int stream. Length]; stream. Read bytesInStream, 0, int bytesInStream. Write bytesInStream, 0, bytesInStream.

Caveat is valid, but I think this is a case where it's probably "good enough" for most jobs. Webservers won't tolerate a case like this very well at all, unless the website only has a single user active at once. Net 4. ReadByte ; a! ReadByte to. The distinction is significant such as in multiple byte character encodings like Unicode used in. Net where Char is one or more bytes byte[n].

The option of copying content from the input stream to a filestream is much better — Ykok. Write, FileShare. Major Byte 4, 3 3 gold badges 24 24 silver badges 33 33 bronze badges.

This is essentially what Jon Skeet showed in He just refactored it into two parts, so that one could re-use the stream copying portion with any type of destination stream, not just a file.
