ASP Download Page adds a [1] suffix to filename
Paul J. Bussiere
I have a really old copy of Mustang Software's Filecenter program.
Its a really nice program but the company died a while back and all
the programs have been end-of-life'd.
But at any rate, Im about to install it again and give it another
whirl, but I recall the one annoying thing about it, I could not
resolve, was the adding of a [1] to anything being downloaded.
The link to the file didn't have this, but when you click on it with
IE to initiate the download, the filename magically has that suffix
added to it. Any ideas on where I should look ? I've never seen any
sort of download link behave this way, have you?

P.S. Any old FileCenter users out there?

I've seen this happen when IE thinks the file already exitsts locally. Can
you specifiy the filename and remove the [1] and does the download still
work then?

I thought the same, but I've tried saving to different locations and
IE (or the ASP?) adds that [1] around it.
Odd, isn't it?

this problem.
If you use binarywrite to do file transfer, this problem happens to IE. if
you use directly link (like put the file in virtural directory, and provide
a link to it.) It does not happen.
Also this problem only happens when you have multiple file extensions, like
abcd.txt.gz. So try not to use multiple file extensions. Length of file name
seems not a problem.
If any more questions, let me know.

The product (Mustang File Center) is what I have. There is no tech
support since they are no longer. It IS using a virtual directory.
Here is the source code to the download.asp page, if this helps any.
I just did a cut/paste so hopefully none of the characters got
trampled on.
