 Topic: Streaming Excel/Word File and the resulting PasswoPosted: 13 September 2011 at 8:34am |

I am streaming excel and word files through an ASP page. For security reasons, I have chosen to stream it rather than direct link.
The file that the files are stored in are NOT accessable from the web, but are accessable to the script through the file system. Here is the problem...Everytime I open one of the files (through the asp page) a password dialog pops up: The title says: Enter Network Password the box says: "Please enter your authentication information. Resource: ",then lists the URL of the ASP page, then 2 text boxes, one for username and one for password, then 2 buttons "Ok" and "Cancel". If you press "cancel", the file loads with no problem. What I am trying to do is get rid of the password dialog in the first place. Any ideas? |

Sounds like a server permission issue.
Make sure the folder storing your Excel and Word files has read access for the anonymous user account that IIS uses for your website. |
