Upload and Download a file

[Poornima Sharma]

Hi friends,
Can we upload or download a file using servlets.
If yes how can we.

[Bear Bibeault]

Yes, see the JSP FAQ for an entry on uploading. Downloading is as easy as including a link to the file on an HTML page.

If for some reason putting the file in a public directory (where an href link can find it) is not an option, you can use a simple servlet to stream it to the client. See http://faq.javaranch.com/java/CodeBarnSimpleStream for an example.

Hi,

Can you please post the code, that allows you to download the file from the server.

Thanks
Deepti
