I zipped a file on the server and created a link using
Download 3D View
Now whenever the link is clicked I am being redirected to the Homepage. Is it possible that this is not working due to security reasons with the zip file itself since I compressed it on the server?
It seems it was a security reason which I solved simply by compressing the files on my local machine and than uploaded the .zip file to the server. It seems the server was applying security while compressing.

I have a simple code that save logs in a 'csv' file on the server.
When I navigate to from the browser to the folder where the file is saved, clicking the file download it instead of opening the file for view in the browser.
I have another site using the same code exactly on the same server, and clicking file from it, open the file for view in the browser.
I use the same browser for both sites, so it is not related to browser settings.
I've tried to change the file privileges, but it didn't help.
This site was originally with a different host, and I thought that moving it to the same host will solve it, but it didn't.
I've tried to talk with the support of the hosting provider, but they say that a developer should handle it.
Replacing the file ending to 'cvs' solved the problem, and opened the file in the browser without any other settings change.
I have designed a website using HTML5 and now want publish it. But that website previously was built in ASP.NET. Now I want to upload my data, but there is no "public_html" folder. So how to upload my data??
Some hosts have a public_html folder to place your files inside while others do not. Just connect to the server and upload them to the folder like usual.
I have a web page that is hosted in our local network. On my page I have a link to a document. The document is linked to a network share. If the user opens the file, edits it and then goes to save the file it overwrites what is on the share. When opening the file I want the user to download the file, so when they come to save it they do not have the option to save it back. How could I go about doing this?
Server side I have access to asp.
You need to create a link which when clicked, streams the contents of the file to the browser, rather than having a link to the files actual location. If you do this the user will be prompted to save the file somewhere locally.
I am not at my PC currently so cannot get you an example piece of code, but you need to send the response with the content type set appropriately. Look in to mime types for a pointer in the right direction.
The term "download" is misunderstood here. When we open windows explorer and copy a file from a network share to our local machine don't think it terms of "downloading" it, we are just copying it. To "download" usually refers to access some resource outside of our local network and pulling that resource into that network.
Hence to achieve your aim you need to convince the client that is not accessing a file that is a local network resource. You can do this by adding a Virtual Folder to the IIS site that points the appropriate folder in the network share. Change the URL to use a "http:" protocal pointing at the virtual folder in your site.
Now the users will get the file from your website rather than accessing it as a normal file on the network.
You can stream the file through a webpage to download the file instead of opening a network share.
See this for an example:

You can also share a directory through your web server by enabling directory browsing.
IIS 6: http://blog.crowe.co.nz/archive/2006/03/18/603.aspx
IIS 7: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731109(WS.10).aspx
I am working on a web page that will be on a local or network filesystem. What I would like to do is have have the user click a link to a file and start a save as dialog. However, since the webpage and the file are both on a local or network filesystem, I cannot control the header.
Is there any sort of workaround?
Thanks,

i want to upload my first website (it is a simple html file) and when i write on the browser www.examplesite.com it just don't open the site, it opens a raw directory listing where i have to click the "index.html" (which is my site) to get redirected to the real site. How can i fix this? Thanks :)
Do you control the webserver? If so you need to tell the server (ie, Apache, IIS) to use index.html as the "Directory Index". If not ask your ISP to enable it.
Webservers can be configured to server different things as the "default" webpage if browsing to a folder - normally, your local, friendly, server administrator should be able to tell you what name(s) to use - index.html is common, but you could try "default.htm" if it's hosted on a Windows server.
