jon00 simple downloads

[TeleFragger]

Jon,
Would have posted on your site but my work blocks 8080... DOH!!!
anyhow..

is there a way for the simple downloads to use a file on a remote machine?
or do they have to be locally?


want to nab the files off of my file server...

[jon00]

Unfortunately not...

Homeseer can only serve files if they are located within the html folder or its sub directories.

My download app is designed that it should be able to download files from another server using IIS virtual directories.

It is available at http://misraels.no-ip.biz/mriDownloads/mriDownloads.asp

The downloading from another server has not been tested much, but I think we could troubleshoot through that if need be.

Sorry Jon, not trying to steal your thread, but thought this might help.

is there a different place I can put a new topic to not clutter Jon00's section?


I need to know a few things on the links..
like do I have to map a drive to the remote location? or use \\ in the name or have to have iis running?
I get this...

There is a short forum with some discussion at:

http://board.homeseer.com/showthread...t=mridownloads

You should be putting your link in the link field and just putting the title in that field, the app field is limited to something like 50 characters.

If you are going to use a virtual directory, you should reference the http link so that it is valid for outside users.

Jon00;
Can one do multiple download pages? or do I just put them all in 1?

[jon00]

You can put multiple downloads on a single page or if you wish have several different pages. If you want to use more pages, just rename the page and then on the page up in a text editor. Look for

hs.GetAppPath & "\data\Mydownloads\Mydownloads.txt

and change this to:

hs.GetAppPath & "\data\Mydownloads\Mydownloads1.txt

Now load the download info into Mydownloads1.txt for that page.
