File Downloads

[=?Utf-8?B?RXJpY2E=?=]

I have a simple file download button that when clicked opens a window with a
file download dialog prompting a user to save in csv or xls format. The code
works fine locally. (In debug mode there is an exception thrown on the
response.end line) but once on the server the page displays and then closes
immediately. Below is the relevant code. Has anyone encountered this before?

Response.Clear( )
HttpContext.Cur rent.Response.B ufferOutput = True
HttpContext.Cur rent.Response.A ppendHeader("Co ntent-Disposition",
String.Format(" attachment; filename={0}", fileName))
HttpContext.Cur rent.Response.C ontentType = outType
Dim encoding As New System.Text.ASC IIEncoding
HttpContext.Cur rent.Response.B inaryWrite(enco ding.GetBytes(o utString))
HttpContext.Cur rent.Response.F lush()
HttpContext.Cur rent.Response.E nd()

RE: File Downloads

I believe this is a security issue, but am having trouble resolving it. What
happens is that if I type in the server name in my browser, the download
works as expected. However, if I type in the domain name, the temp file never
gets written to the directory. For what account should I give permissions for
this. Does anyone know why this wouldn't work for both. It is the same exact
server.
