Question

I am using a link button to down load a file from the server.
Its is working fine when i am using the full path to the page.

the download link is on the default page.

ie http://mydomain.com/default.aspx
but not working when using http://mydomain.com/

and offcourse it is workign in local host not on the server.

the code i am using is

   try
        {

            // System.String filename = this.ViewState["ImageName"].ToString();
            string fileName = "filename.pdf";
            // set the http content type to "APPLICATION/OCTET-STREAM
            Response.ContentType = "APPLICATION/OCTET-STREAM";

            // initialize the http content-disposition header to
            // indicate a file attachment with the default filename
            // "myFile.txt"
            System.String disHeader = "Attachment; Filename=\"" + fileName +
               "\"";
            Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", disHeader);

            // transfer the file byte-by-byte to the response object

            System.IO.FileInfo fileToDownload = new
               System.IO.FileInfo(Server.MapPath("~/UserUploads/") + fileName);
            Response.Flush();
            Response.WriteFile(fileToDownload.FullName);
        }
        catch (System.Exception ex)
        // file IO errors
        {
            //SupportClass.WriteStackTrace(ex, Console.Error);
            throw ex;
        }
}
