I'm using JFrog Artifactory and want to download file using C# and WebClient. The URL is like /filename.zip
But it downloads as a HTML page. Says container is damaged. And also the HTML says "you needs to enable JavaScript".
How can I fix that?
The Retrieve Folder or Repository Archive API allows to download an archive file (supports zip/tar/tar.gz/tgz) containing all the artifacts that reside under the specified path (folder or repository root). However it does not support filtering by properties.
The Artifactory CLI supports concurrently downloading multiple files. It also supports downloading files we matches a set of property values. The CLI, however, will use multiple HTTP requests for doing so.
A third option would be developing a custom user plugin which allows downloading an archive of artifacts matching a set of properties. An execution user plugin can be executed as a REST API call. There is a sample plugin in the JFrogDev GitHub account which can serve as a good start point. This plugin allows downloading the content of a directory as an archive.

I am working on file upload and download web App using .net mvc C# APIs and I have read this answer to consider some file security points and I have two questions:
According to the Filetypes point particularly this statement
It's best if the application uses some real content discovery to find
out if the uploaded file is actually an allowed filetype.
I want to check if the user uploads an .exe, .dll or "html containing js code"
file as renamed text file but i don't know how to do that.
According to Content sniffing point, I have added
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
To my api web.config file flowing this Answer
but when i upload html page including java script code it uploads and download without any interruption, so how to prevent my app from uploading and downloading these kinds of files.
There are plenty of ideas here (theoretical and practical):

https://www.computerweekly.com/answer/File-upload-security-best-practices-Block-a-malicious-file-upload
I personally would suggest to white-list the extensions that will be allowed to upload, instead of black-listing potentially dangerous extensions.
I'm attempting to automate a task I have of interacting with a website form to download a file.
In human terms, I select a label from a list of options, and then press a submit button. The website then automatically downloads a zip file to the downloads folder.
The actions described above have the net effect of running this code in a browser console:
$('#ListBox1').val($('#ListBox1 option:first')) && $('#Download_0').click()
My question is, how can I download this zip file by running the code from a C# program? Ideally, I would also be able to specify where the file downloads to, although I'm not sure if this is possible.
Please note, this question is not asking how to download a file using C# (see: How to download a file from a website in C# and .net - Downloading a file from a website using C#). No such file exists on the website for me to download. The resulting file is generated and downloaded automatically by the two actions above.
EDIT:
The following code does download a file, however, the file is 24kb (the zip file I'm expecting is around 8mb) and unopenable:
using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
{
client.DownloadFile("https://cdr.ffiec.gov/public/PWS/DownloadBulkData.aspx", AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "download.zip");
}
EDIT2:
What I'm attempting to do is download the most recent zip file available containing bulk call report data. The website selects the most recently available data automatically, but I have to manually select the type of file I want to download. As such, the web request won't be static and can't be hard-coded into the program, which is why I'm attempting to interact with the webpage.
I'm developing a dll that is supposed to be commonly used (in nuget for example). Simple description: my DLL simplifies message exchange with a particular service. It allows to send a request, then retrieve a response. Service is asynchronous and it can create a response in a hour or a day after accepting a request, so after making a request my dll calls service every few minutes to check out for response. The problem is that the app that uses the dll can be restarted therefore storing a request queue in memory isn't a good option (I don't want to lose info about requests). Neither is serializing it to file, because I can't know for sure where my dll will be used - it could be pc app, mvc. My main options is: serialize to file, but give an option to set a address where to place serialized files via web/app.config or make a user to think about it. But maybe there is some better solution about how to store requests queue?
I would put theses type of configuration or data files in a subfolder to the %appdata% folder. You will have write access to files in this folder and the documentation is extensive. Read more here.
in C# you can easily get this folder using:
var appdata = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData);
Or use Program Data:
var programdata = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData);
I've deployed a website into Azure and i want to access programaticaly this path : "D:\home\site\app" from a c# desktop application and delete all files and upload new ones programatically.
i have searched and found many ways but all are for AzureStorage or using Kudu consol or FTP while what i realy want is to access the local storage where the website is deployed programatiacally, and make some edits on files programatically.
Sure thing, the Site Control Manager (Kudu) has an API for that, the VFS API:
https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/REST-API#vfs
You can use either of these for authentication:
A Bearer token that you obtain from the STS (reference implementation in ARMClient)
Site-level credentials (the long ugly ones under your Web App → Properties)
Git/FTP credentials (subscription level)
Sample usage (using site-level credentials):
# Line breaks brutally used to improve readability
# /api/vfs/ is d:\home
# Append path as necessary, i.e. /api/vfs/site/app
$ curl -k https://$are-we-eating-too-much-garlic-as-a-people:6sujXXX
XXXXXXq7Zc#are-we-eating-too-much-garlic-as-a-people.scm.azurewebsites.net
/api/vfs/site/wwwroot/ill-grab-this-file-over-vfs-api.txt
There, i did it.
I'm assuming here that you want to do all that from the outside world - since you don't clearly state otherwise.
Well, in my azure code. my task was to save a excel file and upload its contents to SQL server.
I used this plain and simple to access home site.
string fileToSave = string.Format("{0}\\{1}", HostingEnvironment.MapPath(#"~\Temp"), FileUpload.FileName);
if (!Directory.Exists(HostingEnvironment.MapPath(#"~\Temp")))
Directory.CreateDirectory(HostingEnvironment.MapPath(#"~\Temp"));
FileUpload.PostedFile.SaveAs(fileToSave);
you could use something like this to delete and save a new file or other I/O operations.
In my project i will be having an link like
Download
I want the users to download files of different types. The file will be in the root folder. When i am clicking on the link it is displaying an error. This is the plugin to install in the chrome. If the user download this link and open then it will automatically add to the chrome.
How can i do this.
The file is not even downloading.
This isn't a valid path:
~/hello world.crx
The ~ character is for use server-side to denote the root of the application. Client-side it has no meaning. The browser doesn't know what the root of the application is (or what the application is at all), it's just sending requests to resources at addresses. And it doesn't know what to do with that address.
You'll need to either use some server-side logic to translate that path into a browser-useable path, or manually make it a relative or absolute path.
If the ASP.NET MVC Framework isn't translating this for you then you're probably using a version that requires a little more manual work for it. Try something like:
Download
(Note: This assumes the use of the Razor view engine. If you're not using that then you'll want to use whatever your view engine equivalent is.)
What you need to do is set up a directory online, where you can host the file.
I also see that in your aref you don't want to type the full path so denote it with a /hello_world.crx, but make sure that you've set up a base href:
<base href="http://yourdomain.com/something/">
Try renaming the file to remove any spaces e.g. "hello_world.crx" and then change the name in the link code to match.
if a webpage and the downloadable file is in the same location
(i.e)
SampleFolder->Download.html
SampleFolder->hello world.crx
then try the below
download
If the webpage and the downloadable file in different location
(i.e)
SampleFolder->Download.html
SampleFolder->Downloads->hello world.crx
then try the below
download
