I created a directory outside my web for holding files for protected download. I set up a page at the web root with a link to a file in that directory such as:
<a href="stream_download.asp?filename=MedicalClearanceTesting.d oc">Medical Clearance Testing</a>
I have placed the stream_download file at the root of my web as well and placed the physical path to the download directory into your code. I have checked for typos and path errors multiple times, but find none.
When I click the link I always get "Error: No such file exists."
I see in the conditional statement in your code that
"If objFSO.FileExists(FilePath)" must be evaluating false. Is it possible that the web host has server settings that are preventing this from evaluating true?
Thanks.

Disabling the streaming code and response.writing out the path on "stream_download.asp" woud probably help too to see if what it is coming up with looks valid and correct.. my guess is your final path to the file just has to be wrong ?

Response.write(FilePath) returns the correct path:
d:\Customers\user1243858\allied_files\MedicalClearanceTestin g.doc

well try taking out the
If objFSO.FileExists(FilePath)
and the end if that goes with it
Maybe your host has the filesystem object disabled ?
Did you try this in a directory in your web?

That's it, Chris.
It does work if a directory inside the web is used. I'll need to have them disable browsing for that and stay inside.
Thanks for your help.

ok, If your web has frontpage or expression web access connecting via frontpage explorer or expression web and right clicking on a folder / propertiesallows you to do that on your own..
