download from diff server

[Bruce Lee]

to download a file from same server we use

Response.AddHeader "content-disposition", "attachment; filename=text.mp3"

but what if i want to download a file from diff server.

How can i do that?

i have tried using virtual directory which is pointing to diff folder in different server but doesnot work

First is it possible use to download files from virtual directory pointing to diff server altogether?

can't you just use Response.Redirect("http://www.othersite.com/downloadscript.asp") and just call the script from there?

thats tricky but for some reaons i cannot have asp running in diff server.
does softartisian file up component does any magic?

Of course you could put an off-site page within a frame.
