Instance code: Downloading Files through ASP

Download Sometimes you want a user to download a binary file instead of opening it inside the browser window.
There are several different ways to accomplish this.
Generically:
<%
FileName = "Document.doc"
Response.ContentType = "Application/octet-stream"
Response.AddHeader "Content-disposition", "attachment"; filename = "& filename
Set Stream = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.") Stream ")
Stream.open
Stream.loadfromfile Server.MapPath (Filename)
Conents = Stream.readtext
Response.BinaryWrite Contents
Stream.Close
Set Stream = Nothing
%>

If you know the ' file type ' you would like the user to download, try:
<%
Filename = "Document.doc"
Response.ContentType = "Application/vnd.ms-word"
Response.AddHeader "Content-disposition", "attachment"; Filename= "& filename
%>
