Download a File to a specific folder - WebClient BC

martinhocosta88

With the web client, The function DownloadFromStream doesnt allow to specify the client folder where to save the file. Every file is saved to the browser default transfer folder.

In my scenario I want to save a txt file to a pre configured folder.

TempFile.CREATETEMPFILE();

TempFile.WRITE('abc');

TempFile.CREATEINSTREAM(NewStream);

DOWNLOADFROMSTREAM(NewStream,'','MyFolderPath','',MyFileName);


Whats the correct approach to apply on WebClient?

Have you tried using the DownloadToFile function in CU 419 ? DownloadToFile(ServerFileName, ClientFileName)?

Or if that doesn't work, how about just calling the DownloadHandler function (also in CU 419) directly?

I've tried bothand I get the following error. It seems its not able to create the temp file.

Ignore this comment, I mistakenly overlooked you were using CREATETEMPFILE, and posted irrelevant advice, sorry.

I have the following:

FileOutFile.CreateTempFile;
tempFilename := FileOutFile.Name;
(...)
FileOutFile.CreateInStream(NewStream);
FileMgt.DownloadToFile(TempFileName, FileNameExp); //instead of DownloadFromStream
FileOutFile.Close();

Getting the following error:

Cehck if Event Viewer could give you more details. I've seen before on previous versions where I/O error was related with the file being used by another process.
