Is there any way I can share file to user's dropbox folder ?
What I exactly want to implement is as below:
User Click on Dropbox icon.
Then Dropbox Asks for His/Her Dropbox account details.
File from Application Saved to his/her dropbox account.
I did search dropbox API's But did not get anything which helps me to save to user's Dropbox account.
I read API Documentation ,
https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/docs#files_put
, Here i can save files to my dropbox but not to other.
please guide me on the same. thanks in advance.
I don't know if version 2 is any better for your purposes, but version 1 of the API is deprecated
If the user has their Dropbox integrated with Explorer, then I would think you can just write to the local folder and it will sync up to Dropbox as usual.
You can use the Dropbox API to have a user authorize your app to access their Dropbox account and then programmatically save files to the account. (This works even if the user doesn't have the official Dropbox app installed.)
For .NET, we recommend using the official Dropbox API v2 .NET SDK:

The tutorial shows how to upload a file:

Here is the Code snippet I Used to save Dropbox. I hope this will help mates.
// Code to retrieve Dropbox Local Folder
var infoPath = #"Dropbox\info.json";
var jsonPath = Path.Combine(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("LocalAppData"), infoPath);
if (!System.IO.File.Exists(jsonPath)) jsonPath = Path.Combine(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AppData"), infoPath);
if (!System.IO.File.Exists(jsonPath)) {
return "-2";
}
var dropboxPath = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(jsonPath).Split('\"')[5].Replace(#"\\", #"\");
string fileName = "Your FileName";
string sourcePath = Server.MapPath("Source Path Here");
string targetPath = dropboxPath;
// Use Path class to manipulate file and directory paths.
string sourceFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(sourcePath, "filename.extention");
string destFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(targetPath, fileName);
// To copy a folder's contents to a new location:
// Create a new target folder, if necessary.
if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(targetPath))
{
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(targetPath);
}
// To copy a file to another location and
// overwrite the destination file if it already exists.
System.IO.File.Copy(sourceFile, destFile, true);
if (System.IO.File.Exists(destFile))
{
System.IO.File.SetLastWriteTime(destFile, DateTime.Now);
}

I have a UWP C# app, with a unit testing project. In these unit test, I want to be able to write to a text file in order to make something like snapshots in Jest.
Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() returns C:\path\to\project\bin\x64\Debug\AppX, so I made a folder in the project directory and am navigating to it, then attempting to create a file there.
[TestMethod]
public void Test()
{
var folder = Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "../../../../Snapshots");
string data = "example data";
string filename = Path.Combine(folder, "Test.snap");
File.WriteAllText(filename, json);
}
However, this test produces a System.UnauthorizedAccessException. I went into the folder in windows and gave Everyone read/write permissions, but that didn't make any difference.
I don't want to have to run Visual Studio as an administrator. Is this possible?
I use Path.GetTempPath() to create temporary directories and files in unit tests that require physical disk access. The unit tests can run from an unknown context/location, so I found using the temp directory as a guaranteed way to create disposable files.
[TestMethod]
public void Test()
{
var folder = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), "Snapshots");
string data = "example data";
string filename = Path.Combine(folder, "Test.snap");
File.WriteAllText(filename, json);
}
Please have a look at Rob's blog here:
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/wsdevsol/2012/12/04/skip-the-path-stick-to-the-storagefile/
Here is the answer from Rob:
Windows Store apps run sandboxed and have very limited access to the
file system. For the most part, they can directly access only their
install folder and their application data folder. They do not have
permission to access the file system elsewhere (see File access and
permissions for more details).
Access to other locations is available only through a broker process.
This broker process runs with the user’s full privileges, and it can
use these privileges on the app’s behalf for locations the app has
requested via capabilities, locations requested by the user via file
pickers, etc. The StorageItem encapsulates this brokerage procedure so
the app doesn’t need to deal with it directly."
In a UWP app we do not recommend path anymore. There are permission problems so broker is required when access some paths. I'm not familar with Unit Test. But if you are still using UWP function you should consider using StorageFile related API instead.
How about checking if you gave permissions to the right folder?
var folder = Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "../../../../Snapshots");
string data = "example data";
// this variable will contain the actual folder; add a watch
// or bookmark it to check it
var actualPath = Path.GetFullPath(folder);
string filename = Path.Combine(folder, "Test.snap");
File.WriteAllText(filename, data);
Just in case, add the line below too (before File.WriteAllText); perhaps your file already exists as, I don't know, read-only:
File.SetAttributes(filename, FileAttributes.Temporary);
I have been looking for a little while now and am not finding much help via MSDN resources and others.
My predicament is simple: my app needs a base directory to the Downloads folder. I am aware of the DownloadsFolder class however that is not suiting my needs currently.
How do I get the current user's Download folder path in a Windows Universal App?
Use Windows.Storage.UserDataPaths to get the path of user's download folder.
string downloadsPath = UserDataPaths.GetDefault().Downloads;
This method is introduced in build 16232, so clients with RS3(1709) or later will be able to run it.
You shouldn't obtain downloads folder path using LocalFolder, which might result in wrong folder when the user changed the default location for it.
System.Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables("%userprofile%/downloads/")
Is that what you need?
string localfolder = ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.Path;
var array = localfolder.Split('\\');
var username = array[2];
string downloads = #"C:\Users\" + username + #"\Downloads";
This will result
C:\Users\username\Downloads
The DownloadsFolder for an app now defaults to a folder withing the user's Downloads directory named after the app name (in actual fact the app name folder is simply a link to a folder named after the Package Family Name)
To get the folder name, I used the following hack (vb) to first create a dummy file in the UWP app's DownloadsFolder then using .NET code to get the directory name, and finally deleting the dummy file.
Dim o As StorageFile = Await DownloadsFolder.CreateFileAsync("dummy.txt", CreationCollisionOption.GenerateUniqueName)
Dim dirName Ss String = Path.GetDirectoryName(o.Path)
Await o.DeleteAsync(StorageDeleteOption.PermanentDelete)
I'm trying to download a file using the Tamir SSH library. I'm able to connect to the remote FTP site, upload files to the site, but I'm getting exceptions when trying to download. I've given IIS_IUSRS full control of the local directory as well as ASPNET. I've tested an I'm able to create a text file in the same local directory I'm trying to download to. Any ideas?
string SFTP_HOST = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AccentivFtpHost"];
string SFTP_USERNAME = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AccentivFtpUsername"];
string SFTP_PASSWORD = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AccentivFtpPassword"];
Sftp client = new Sftp(SFTP_HOST, SFTP_USERNAME, SFTP_PASSWORD);
client.Connect(22);
client.Get("test.txt", "c:\\test.txt");
You probably lack a '/' character in the file directory. You may need to put it either in the Get function call before the "test.txt" like "/test.txt" or at the end of your AccentivFtpHost value in the app config file.
I have an upload function in my system that stores the files on the d drive e.g D:\KBFiles. Now i need to offer these files as links through internet explorer. Obviously i cant just offer a path e.g D:\KBFiles\test.pdf. Whats the best way to handle this scenario
Write "proxy" file with such code and call it DownloadFile.aspx:
string fileName = Request.QueryString["file"];
string filePath = Path.Combime("D:\\KBFile", fileName);
Response.WriteFile(filePath);
Then have such link:
test.pdf
This allows you to check the user permissions if you're using Login system and also you can check the requested file against some white list to prevent hacking attempts.
You need to create a Virtual Folder for that windows folder inside your WebApplication. As soon as IIS has mapped the virtual folder, it would be possible to use direct links, which would have your WebApplication as a root.
I'm able to upload files or directories to a bucket with the AWS .NET SDK, but they always end up in the root folder.
Is there a way to upload a file to an existing directory?
edit. More info:
So I'm using a TransferUtilityUploadDirectoryRequest to upload a directory from my local disk to S3. I would like the files to be uploaded to a folder in the bucket with the same name as the folder I've selected.
For example. if I choose the directory c:/stuff to be upload, I want the contents of c:/stuff to go in BucketName/stuff, not directly into the bucket.
I hope it's clear what I'm trying to do, if not I'll try to provide more info
It seems after googling around, you specify a key. It took me a while, but I believe the key is something like this example:
string key = string.Format("{0}/{1}", folder, filename);
PutObjectRequest rq = new PutObjectRequest()
{
AutoCloseStream = false,
BucketName = s3BucketName,
InputStream = stream,
Key = key
};
S3ClientInstance.PutObject(rq).Dispose();
The newest version of the AWS SDK for .NET allows you to set the KeyPrefix property on the UploadDirectoryRequest (more info here).
