I'm rather new to development and I have a problem which I haven't sound a solution for. I can't seem to find if it is possible or not to solve, anyway..I want to create an asp page which would allow a user to download a whole folder from an ftp server. The ftp server itself is not on the same physical server as the asp site. To further complicate the issue is that I want to use either explicit or implicit transfer which I can't seem to work in a browser.The webpage acts as an intermediary between the client and the ftp server, and is meant to be as user friendly as possible. eg. the user just have to press download and it automatically downloads from the ftp server without the use of an installed local client. [*]client -> asp page -> ftp server[*]client <- ftp serverMy problem is that the asp page does not have the permission to create files on the client system. I have managed to connect to the ftp and try to download all files in a folder but the files do not appear on the client in the target folder.I might just be searching for the wrong terms but I would appreciate any feedback.
