csNetDownload

ASP.NET class to control binary file downloads and get files by HTTP. csNetDownload was designed to be an ASP.NET class that controls binary file downloads to the browser, allowing for user verification before downloading and record keeping after downloading. There are also functions to retrieve a file from a remote URL, either streaming it to the browser or saving on the same server as the script.

This ASP.NET class can be used when individual files on the server must be password protected, or downloads controlled from script in some other way. Files can be downloaded even if they are outside the web site directory structure, protecting them from unauthorised downloads.

The download is controlled from an ASP.NET script so code can be executed before and after sending the file to the browser. This allows for verification of passwords, and logging of data afterwards. It is sometimes possible to check whether the file was completely downloaded or cancelled before completion.
