Avoid Dialog box when downloading a file

Hi,

Query :

When we export data in a file through java code , is there any way to avoid that pop up which asks for OPEN / SAVE / CANCEL .
Example : I have a link .If I click the link the file should be directly saved on to the mentioned disk location without the pop up.

Is there any way to do this??

There is not. And thank goodness! Imagine the security nightmare if any old web site could write to your file system!

Agreed..

but since we have source and destination folder information in our application , can there be any way to copy those files from source to destination.?

Are you talking about a client machine that you have credentials for, or any random client?

yes a specific client machine.
i know the destination folder where in the file should go..

Do you have login credentials?

Sorry ..there is no specific client..

it would be different for each user...but the source folder is common .
i.e.

if the link is clicked..the file from source folder should be copied on to client machine..

Then, no. If you understand about the security problems, then you know this is untenable. You are either going to have to live with the dialog, or use some other means (such as a trusted applet).

ohh..thank you Bear for your replies..

If you kno of anything I can do to copy the files thru a link please let me know..

thanks again...
