My code: // IE needs url encoding, FF doesn’t support it, Google Chrome doesn’t care if (Request.Browser.IsBrowser (“IE”)) { fileName = Server.UrlEncode(fileName); } Response.Clear (); Response.AddHeader (“content-disposition”, String.Format … Read more
If you are working with .NET 4.5 or later, consider using the System.Net.Mime.ContentDisposition class: string cpString = wc.ResponseHeaders[“Content-Disposition”]; ContentDisposition contentDisposition = new ContentDisposition(cpString); string filename = contentDisposition.FileName; StringDictionary parameters = contentDisposition.Parameters; // You have got parameters now Edit: otherwise, you need to parse Content-Disposition header according to it’s specification. Here is a simple class that … Read more

Here’s a utility function to use it: var downloadFile = function(filename, content) { var blob = new Blob([content]); var evt = document.createEvent(“HTMLEvents”); evt.initEvent(“click”); $(“<a>”, … Read more
Here is how I used it sometime back. I’m assuming you are providing the attachment as a server response. I set the response header like this from my REST service response.setHeader(“Content-Disposition”, “attachment;filename=XYZ.csv”); function(response, status, xhr){ var filename = “”; var disposition = xhr.getResponseHeader(‘Content-Disposition’); if (disposition && disposition.indexOf(‘attachment’) !== -1) { var filenameRegex = /filename[^;=\n]*=(([‘”]).*?\2|[^;\n]*)/; var … Read more

Just remove the output buffering (ob_start() and the others). Use just this: ftp_get($conn_id, “php://output”, $file, FTP_BINARY); Though if you want to add Content-Length header, you have to query file size first using ftp_size: $conn_id = ftp_connect(“ftp.example.com”); ftp_login($conn_id, “username”, “password”); ftp_pasv($conn_id, true); $file_path = “remote/path/file.zip”; $size = ftp_size($conn_id, $file_path); header(“Content-Type: application/octet-stream”); header(“Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=” . basename($file_path)); … Read more
