This thread is for discussions of Sending binary data with ASP.

I tried using oStream.mode=3 (in the article "sending binary data with Asp") but I am unable to open a word document in read/write mode. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks

Using the following two articles i managed to get the result I needed ,

I've altered your code just a little and it works but it doesn't exactly solve my problem. See http://flyinghands.com/a_Download0.asp  

This works as long as the file being downloaded is located on the same server as the script. I have so many files I've located them on a seperate hosting service from my web site.

Here is my version:

------------------------------------------
<%@ LANGUAGE="VBScript" %>

<!--METADATA TYPE="typelib" UUID="00000205-0000-0010-8000-00AA006D2EA4" NAME="ADODB Type Library" -->
<%
Function getBinaryFile(strFilePath)
 Dim oStream
   
 Set oStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
 oStream.Open
 oStream.Type = adTypeBinary
 oStream.LoadFromFile strFilePath
 getBinaryFile = oStream.read
 Set oStream = Nothing

End Function

Dim MyFile
Dim MyPath
Dim MyServer
Dim Local

MyPath = "d/lo/10/01/"
MyFile = "d100101.mp3"

Response.AddHeader "content-disposition","inline; attachment; filename=" & chr(34) & Myfile & chr(34)
Response.ContentType = "application/x-unknown"
Response.BinaryWrite getBinaryFile(Server.MapPath(MyPath & MyFile))

%>
------------------------------------------

The Line Server.MapPath(MyPath & MyFile) resolves to the local server and I need to pass a Remote URL. Any sugestions?
