Link vs. Response.Redirect

username1 · Apr 28, 2012

First there was a link to "ftp://nameofmysite/" for downloading an application. Then I was told to do a Login.asp page so only registered users can download that application so now this link is "http://nameofmysite/Login.asp" In this page I have something like: if user credentials = O.K. then Response.redirect("ftp://nameofmysite/") else ......... end if It works but the page it shows looks different from that it would have been displayed if the user had gone directly to "ftp://nameofmysite/" and the manager doesn't like it. The page is (ip is different of course): "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>FTP root at 111.111.111.111</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <H2>FTP root at 111.111.111.111</H2> <HR> <H4><PRE> Thank you for visiting us ! (this is the message set in IIS/FTP Properties) </PRE></H4> <HR> <PRE> 08/21/2001 04:37 12,596,559 <A HREF=http://aspmessageboard.com/archive/index.php/"/setup.exe">setup.exe</A> </PRE> <HR> </BODY> </HTML>" The address in AddressBar is "ftp://111.111.111.111/. How can I prevent it ? I noticed that if I Refresh the page it is o.k. What can I do ? Can I "simulate" a Refresh after redirecting the user. By the way: Why use ftp to download an application/file ? I have noticed that Microsoft and Zdnet do not use ftp or do they ? Thank you ! Mihai
