How can I get a file from external path same as "file://A/B/C/D/"
In local machine I have access to the path of "file://" but the user has not access.
Now I want to read some files from "file://A/B/C/D/" and make downloadable for user.
How can I do it?
(current directory is "https://localhost:44331/")
public async Task<IActionResult> DownloadDocument(string berichtsnummer)
{
var constantPath = "file://A/B/C/D/";
using (FileStream fileStream = System.IO.File.OpenRead(constantPath))
{
MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();
memStream.SetLength(fileStream.Length);
fileStream.Read(memStream.GetBuffer(), 0, (int)fileStream.Length);
return File(fileStream, "application/octet-stream");
}
}
when I click to download link, I get this error:
"IOException: The syntax for filename, directory name, or volume label
is incorrect:"
[
A view of path "file://A/B/C/D/":
A local file path is not "file://". You can read the file normally using the local file path as
var path = "C:\\...";
and then send to content to the client browser.
If the file is not on the local machine, the only way is to access it using a network share. You can then use UNC paths, like
var path = #"\\Server\Path\...";
That's important to change the constantPath to "\\\\A\\B\\C\\D\\"
private string[] GetListOfDocumentLink()
{
string path = string.Empty;
string constantPath = "\\\\A\\B\\C\\D\\";
string folderName = string.Empty;
string year = string.Empty;
// determine folderName and year.
path = constantPath
+ Path.DirectorySeparatorChar.ToString()
+ folderName
+ Path.DirectorySeparatorChar.ToString()
+ year;
var filter = Berichtsnummer + "*.pdf";
string[] allFiles = Directory.GetFiles(path, filter);
return allFiles;
}
Now you can send the path to DownloadDocument method:
public async Task<IActionResult> DownloadDocument(string path)
{
byte[] berichtData = null;
FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo(path);
long berichtFileLength = fileInfo.Length;
FileStream fs = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(fs);
berichtData = br.ReadBytes((int)berichtFileLength);
return File(berichtData, MimeTypeHelper.GetMimeType("pdf"));
}

I want to open a filestream from a sharepoint file (Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File) but I don't seem to find out how.
I only have access to Microsoft.SharePoint.Client because the Microsoft.SharePoint package can't be installed due to some errors.
This is the code I have so far:
ClientContext ctx = new ClientContext("https://factionxyz0.sharepoint.com/sites/faktion-devs");
ctx.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File temp = ctx.Web.GetFileByServerRelativeUrl(filePath);
FileStream fs = new FileStream(???);
You can only create a System.IO.FileStream if the file exists on a physical disk (or is mapped to a disk via the Operating System).
Workaround: Are you able to access the raw URL of the file? In which case, download the file to disk (if the size is appropriate) and then read from there.
For example:
var httpClient = new HttpClient();
// HTTP GET Request
var response = await httpClient.GetAsync(... SharePoint URL ...);
// Get the Content Stream
var stream = await response.Content.ReadAsSteamAsync();
// Create a temporary file
var tempFile = Path.GetTempFileName();
using (var fs = File.OpenWrite(tempFile))
{
await stream.CopyToAsync(fs);
}
// tempFile now contains your file locally, you can access it like
var fileStream = File.OpenRead(tempFile);
// Make sure you delete the temporary file after using it
File.Delete(tempFile);
FileStream must map to a file. The following code demonstrates how to get a stream via CSOM, then we can convert it to FileStream by using a temp file.
ResourcePath filepath = ResourcePath.FromDecodedUrl(filename);
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File temp = context.Web.GetFileByServerRelativePath(filepath);
ClientResult<System.IO.Stream> crstream = temp.OpenBinaryStream();
context.Load(temp);
context.ExecuteQuery();
var tempFile = Path.GetTempFileName();
FileStream fs = System.IO.File.OpenWrite(tempFile);
if (crstream.Value != null){
crstream.Value.CopyTo(fs);
}
As for Azure function temp storage, you may take a reference of following thread:
Azure Functions Temp storage
Or you can store data to Azure storage:
Upload data to blob storage with Azure Functions

Been a while since the question was asked, however, this is how I solved this while I was working on a project. Obviously passing in the credentials directly like this isn't the best way, but due to timing constraints I was not able to convert this project into a newer version of .NET and use Azure AD.
Note that the class is implementing an interface.
public void SetServer(string domainName) {
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(domainName)) throw new Exception("Invalid domain name. Name cannot be null");
_server = domainName.Trim('/').Trim('\\');
}
private string MapPath(string urlPath) {
var url = string.Join("/", _server, urlPath);
return url.Trim('/');
}
public ISharePointDocument GetDocument(string path, string fileName) {
var serverPath = MapPath(path);
var filePath = string.Join("/", serverPath, TemplateLibrary, fileName).Trim('/');
var document = new SharePointDocument();
var data = GetClientStream(path, fileName);
using(var memoryStream = new MemoryStream()) {
if (data == null) return document;
data.CopyTo(memoryStream);
var byteArray = memoryStream.ToArray();
document = new SharePointDocument {
FullPath = filePath,
Bytes = byteArray
};
}
return document;
}
public Stream GetClientStream(string path, string fileName) {
var serverPath = MapPath(path);
var filePath = string.Join("/", serverPath, TemplateLibrary, fileName).Trim('/');
var context = GetClientContext(serverPath);
var web = context.Web;
context.Load(web);
context.ExecuteQuery();
var file = web.GetListItem(filePath).File;
var data = file.OpenBinaryStream();
context.Load(file);
context.ExecuteQuery();
return data.Value;
}
private static ClientContext GetClientContext(string serverPath) {
var context = new ClientContext(serverPath) {
Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials("example#example.com", GetPassword())
};
return context;
}
private static SecureString GetPassword() {
const string password = "XYZ";
var securePassword = new SecureString();
foreach(var c in password.ToCharArray()) securePassword.AppendChar(c);
return securePassword;
}
I am developing an application which store filename in database. For Mozilla & Chrome it is showing FileName only but in IE it is showing full path of file. Now I want to check whether given filename is filename or filepath. Is there any way to do it?
Here is my code:
public ActionResult Save(IEnumerable<HttpPostedFileBase> attachments)
{
byte[] image = null;
var file = attachments.First();
// Some browsers send file names with full path. We only care about the file name.
string filePath = Server.MapPath(General.FaxFolder + "/" + file.FileName);
file.SaveAs(filePath);
FileStream fs = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
using (BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(fs))
{
image = br.ReadBytes((int)fs.Length);
}
TempData["Image"] = image;
System.IO.File.Delete(filePath);
return Json(new { status = "OK", imageString = Convert.ToBase64String(image) }, "text/plain");
}
Well,If you go with getting filename only in any browser then you should write
Path.GetFileName(e.fileName);
It will return filename only in any browser
Thanks
Instead of check whether the file has a path or not, what you can do is to just use
GetFileName(path);method
I have a return File that is offering to download a file but is also downloading the file to another location, I would just like it to offer to download to the user one file, i.e. it reads the initial data from memory, so the first argument in the return File is a MemoryStream of some sort, but I can't figure out how to do it
[HttpPost]
public FilePathResult FileToFasta(F2FModel model)
{
string FullText = new StreamReader(model.File.InputStream).ReadToEnd();
TextLayer layer = new TextLayer(FullText);
string outputFile = layer.WriteToFasta();
String mydatetime = DateTime.Now.ToString("MMddyyyy");
string FileName = String.Format("TextFile{0}.txt", mydatetime);
string FilePath = #"F:\test\" + FileName;
FileInfo info = new FileInfo(FilePath);
if (!info.Exists)
{
using (StreamWriter writer = info.CreateText())
{
writer.Write(outputFile);
}
}
return File(FilePath, "text/plain", FileName);
}
Thanks
MemoryStream can be used with FileStreamResult, for example like this:
[HttpPost]
public FilePathResult FileToFasta(F2FModel model)
{
string FullText = new StreamReader(model.File.InputStream).ReadToEnd();
TextLayer layer = new TextLayer(FullText);
string outputFile = layer.WriteToFasta();
string mydatetime = DateTime.Now.ToString("MMddyyyy");
string FileName = String.Format("TextFile{0}.txt", mydatetime);
//Use different encoding if needed
byte[] outputArray = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(outputFile);
MemoryStream outputStream = new MemoryStream(outputArray);
//FileStreamResult will close the stream for you so don't worry
return new FileStreamResult(outputStream, "text/plain") { FileDownloadName = FileName };
}
With the SharpZip lib I can easily extract a file from a zip archive:
FastZip fz = new FastZip();
string path = "C:/bla.zip";
fz.ExtractZip(bla,"C:/Unzips/",".*");
However this puts the uncompressed folder in the output directory.
Suppose there is a foo.txt file within bla.zip which I want. Is there an easy way to just extract that and place it in the output directory (without the folder)?
The FastZip does not seem to provide a way to change folders, but the "manual" way of doing supports this.
If you take a look at their example:
public void ExtractZipFile(string archiveFilenameIn, string outFolder) {
ZipFile zf = null;
try {
FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(archiveFilenameIn);
zf = new ZipFile(fs);
foreach (ZipEntry zipEntry in zf) {
if (!zipEntry.IsFile) continue; // Ignore directories
String entryFileName = zipEntry.Name;
// to remove the folder from the entry:
// entryFileName = Path.GetFileName(entryFileName);
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096]; // 4K is optimum
Stream zipStream = zf.GetInputStream(zipEntry);
// Manipulate the output filename here as desired.
String fullZipToPath = Path.Combine(outFolder, entryFileName);
string directoryName = Path.GetDirectoryName(fullZipToPath);
if (directoryName.Length > 0)
Directory.CreateDirectory(directoryName);
using (FileStream streamWriter = File.Create(fullZipToPath)) {
StreamUtils.Copy(zipStream, streamWriter, buffer);
}
}
} finally {
if (zf != null) {
zf.IsStreamOwner = true;stream
zf.Close();
}
}
}
As they note, instead of writing:
String entryFileName = zipEntry.Name;
you can write:
String entryFileName = Path.GetFileName(entryFileName)
to remove the folders.
Assuming you know this is the only file (not folder) in the zip:
using(ZipFile zip = new ZipFile(zipStm))
{
foreach(ZipEntry ze in zip)
if(ze.IsFile)//must be our foo.txt
{
using(var fs = new FileStream(#"C:/Unzips/foo.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write))
zip.GetInputStream(ze).CopyTo(fs);
break;
}
}
If you need to handle other possibilities, or e.g. getting the name of the zip-entry, the complexity rises accordingly.
hey guys, m using an api of "Bits on the Run" following is the code of upload API
public string Upload(string uploadUrl, NameValueCollection args, string filePath)
{
_queryString = args; //no required args
WebClient client = createWebClient();
_queryString["api_format"] = APIFormat ?? "xml"; //xml if not specified - normally set in required args routine
queryStringToArgs();
string callUrl = _apiURL + uploadUrl + "?" + _args;
callUrl = uploadUrl + "?" + _args;
try {
byte[] response = client.UploadFile(callUrl, filePath);
return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(response);
} catch {
return "";
}
}
and below is my code to upload a file, m using FileUpload control to get the full path of a file(but m not succeeded in that)...
botr = new BotR.API.BotRAPI("key", "secret_code");
var response = doc.Descendants("link").FirstOrDefault();
string url = string.Format("{0}://{1}{2}", response.Element("protocol").Value, response.Element("address").Value, response.Element("path").Value);
//here i want fullpath of the file, how can i achieve that here
string filePath = fileUpload.PostedFile.FileName;//"C://Documents and Settings//rkrishna//My Documents//Visual Studio 2008//Projects//BitsOnTheRun//BitsOnTheRun//rough_test.mp4";
col = new NameValueCollection();
FileStream fs = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open);
col["file_size"] = fs.Length.ToString();
col["file_md5"] = BitConverter.ToString(HashAlgorithm.Create("MD5").ComputeHash(fs)).Replace("-", "").ToLower();
col["key"] = response.Element("query").Element("key").Value;
col["token"] = response.Element("query").Element("token").Value;
fs.Dispose();
string uploadResponse = botr.Upload(url, col, filePath);
i read in some forums saying that for some security purpose you can't get fullpath of a file from client side. If it is true then how can i achieve file upload in my scenario ?
Yes, this is true, for security reason you cannot get the fullpath of the client machine, what you can do is, try the following,
Stream stream = fileUpload.PostedFile.InputStream;
stream.Read(bytes, 0, fileUpload.PostedFile.ContentLength);
instead of creating your own FileStream use the stream provided by the FileUploadControl. Hoep it shall help.
