Transfer file from Server to Web Client machine

[achiary]

I need to transfer a file from the server to the web client machine without user intervention . Any idea on how to do it ? If not possible from inside the Servoy aplication, any suggestion on how to do it ?

You can do this from within a plugin. Check the sourcecode of the Jasper Reports plugin. that serves up a PDF in the WebClient of the report that was executed.

I use showUrl, but you are left to confirm the "save as" name. can't be fully automatic forbidden by web rules...

Paul,

You mean that a copy of the pdf file gets copied in the client machine disk wothout user intervention ? We need to do that but witha text file.

?Simpler: you can use the tools plugin.
It has many specific server functions...

This is not allowed in browsers: it's not possible in a browser to interact with the filesystem from within a page, without user interaction.
