I am trying to download a file (or several files) from Box into Google Colab using "wget". But, what is downloaded looks like a HTML page not the file itself.
I am using the command:
!wget https://AAA.box.com/s/mh7xq8lou9ukb5i7lssz0frou554dupb -O script.py
Is there a problem with the URL that I am using? I get the URL by opening the file in Box and click "Get shared link".
You are trying to download from sharing link which is a webpage not a direct download link. So It will download the webpage. As a simple trick you can click download in browser and cancel it. Then copy the URL from download and use it with wget.
I've tried everything. Pushed all image files to Git hub repo. They're all lowercase .jpg and everything appears fine locally in the editor. Still not showing up on Git hub pages. Any ideas?
Put the image in same repository, for example .\doc\image.jpg
In *.md file (I assume you talking about readme.md or some other doc in md format) put link to the image like this:
The easy way to get the url - just navigate to uploaded image in web interface, right-click on the image and copy URL :-)
Our team has installed the Markdown Mode extension in Visual Studio on our Windows PCs, and we're happy with that as an editor for Markdown files, but we need a way to generate a wiki from those files where we can click on links that cross-link the files of the wiki. I've been trying to find something, but haven't had any success getting something running.
I tried creating an empty web application and pasting in the html file from here http://dynalon.github.io/mdwiki/#!index.md and naming it index.html, and adding a couple of md files to the same directory that I set to always copy to the build directory, but I got 404-3 errors when it tried to access the .md file.
I see a couple of tools that look possibly good but need Python or Ruby installed, which isn't ideal: http://markdoc.org/quickstart or http://helloform.com/projects/commonplace/
I see this ASP.NET control for embedding a Markdown file into a page http://wikicontrol.codeplex.com/ but the control is for VS 2010 so clearly is not being actively maintained, plus to use it I'll need to build something to take the relative links and find the related .md files and load them up in MVC - sounds like a hassle to get working, and it will require me to put MVC in my docs project.
Is there something that is just designed so that I can put an html file or similar in a directory with a root .md file and have it just immediately act like a wiki and allow navigation between them?
We have decided to use MarkdownDeep NuGet package and a single MVC controller to handle this. The MVC controller looks at the requested path, uses it to figure out the location of the Markdown file, reads that file and renders it to HTML and returns the HTML.
i have a simple question, but i couldn't find an easy solution for it, i have a rented ftp, i cant moderate it, and i have a website with links to this ftp, there few archive files that i want them to be downloaded rather than opened directly through browser, my link looks like this:
IMS 200 Client V1.29 (06.02.13)
i solved this problem by using php page that defines the file type, so that browser could understand that it is archive, and then download it, rather than try and open it directly through browser, is there any easier way to achieve it?!
thank u all for the help!
Hope that my case can help you some way.
I have a website that allows user to view news and download files. Oneday, I discover that if I show up the download link to a .rar file directly, eg. http://www.somenet.com/myfile.rar, then it is opened automatically in the browser instead of asking users if they want to save/open it. If I write some code to read and transfer the file to browser, eg. http://www.somenet.com/download?fileid=123, then it is asked to be saved/opened by browser.
After googling a while, I insert a piece of configuration into my Apache Tomcat web.xml (often at CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml) as follows:
<mime-mapping>
<extension>rar</extension>
<mime-type>application/x-rar-compressed</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
then restart the Apapche Tomcat server to take effect.
And now i can click on the direft rar link to download the file.
I also have to restart the IE (FF takes effect right away).
Good luck!
If you can use HTML5 you can try to use:
Download this file

I have a .asp application where image files (.PDF) are stored in a directory (fed by a copier/scanner). The created file names are stored in a database table. When a query is launched from the web page a link to the file is created. When clicked the image should be displayed.
This functionality works 100% in Internet Explorer. No such luck in Firefox (and I have some Firefox users). The created hyperlink looks like this file://Server/Scanner/XYZ.pdf
The Firefox helps suggest the reason is this:
Links to local or network pages do not work. As a security precaution, Firefox forbids sites on the Internet to link to files that are stored in your local computing environment. These files may include files on your computer, mapped network drives, and UNC network paths
None of the suggestions for a workaround seem to work (or I am not understanding the steps to create the image display)
Any Suggestions?
This is the default Firefox behavior designed for security .The assumption is probably that most web sites don't know what and where are you local files (including UNC paths).
This could be turned off in firefox:
type "about:config" in the address bar and accept "i'll be careful"
find "security.checkloaduri" in older versions or "security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy" in newer versions of firefox and change the value to "false"
restart firefox
That should do it for you. You have more information here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy

Firefox >= 68.0.1
I'm able to preview in Firefox both images and PDF files with local file links using the settings mentioned here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1303727
I have used links with local file: test
and added in user.js the mentioned settings (with adjusted sites list):
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "http://my.intranet");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
Also, when setting Firefox to "Always ask" for PDF files, I was able to "Open with" the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, which reported the expected local folder when accessing "File -> Properties".
Firefox >= 1.5.x < 20 (ish)
Search for the Firefox profile folder on your hard drive, e.g. (12345678 stands for eight random digits and letters):
Windows: "C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles12345678.default\"
Linux: "/home/username/.mozilla/firefox/12345678.default/"
OS X: /Username/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/12345678.default/
In this folder create a text file with the name user.js. Write the following line into that text file:
user_pref("capability.policy.default.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
Works on my PC (Firefox 3.0.3 and 19.0 beta) with the following references:
<img src="file://///server/share/image.png" />
<img src="file://\\\server\share\image.png" />
<img src="file://d:\image.png" />
<img src="file:///d:\image.png" />
<img src="file://d:/image.png" />
<img src="file:///d:/image.png" />
<img src="file://localhost/d:/image.png" />
Also, if you are using the NoScript add-on, check the Advanced \ Trusted \ Allow local links option.
Reading at the solution given here, I followed the link Links to local pages do not work and for me, only this worked well (I am using wordpress for a personal FAQ on a local wamp installation):
Go to your "%Your Documents & Settings%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\%your profile%\"
edit the file "prefs.js"
add the following lines at the end of the document:
.
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "http://localhost");
user_pref("capability.policy.maonoscript.javascript.enabled", "allAccess");
You can leave the setting "security.checkloaduri" to its default value, and also the "security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy". Thanks to those 3 lines, you just make an exception for your local server.
Be careful, if you need to go back to that prefs.js file, note that Firefox will have ordered it alphabetically. So the 3 lines you will have added at the end will be somewhere at the beginning ;).
You can load the LocalLink FireFox Add-On, which allows you to right-click on a local link and select 'Open in Foreground Window'. The other 'Open...' menu items are supposed to work, but don't for me.
http://locallink.mozdev.org/
Also, you can use NoScript, like Alex suggests, which enables normal clicking of local links. Thanks Alex.
Marko's solution should work for links that are also on the local filesystem, but I don't think it should allow an http:// page to link to a file:// page.
The issue for people linking from http:// pages is discussed here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_do_not_work
along with an explanation of how to circumvent it and expose yourself to risk.
You can instead read the file off the disk and then send it in the Response from your page.
See this link for an example.
Tonnes of thanks I wAs searching this solution since months,
::THis thing worked::
This could be turned off in firefox:
* type "about:config" in the address bar and accept "i'll be careful"
* find "security.checkloaduri" in older versions or "security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy" in newer versions of firefox and change the value to "false"
* restart firefox
::::
shouldn't you really store the pages in your application directory and reference them this way. http://SITENAME/Server/scanner/XYZ.pdf.
We do something similar with files stored all in one directory and just store the file name. we then create the link using the known folder name and append the file name. this works quite well.
Finally firefox is a lot more anal about the directions of the slashes in file names as well. Make sure they are all '/' rather than '\'.
Hope this helps.
beware of incompatibility with gmarks (google toolbar replacer)
both local link and policy manager worked for me; local link is a little smoother, policy manager gives you more control
file://localhost///servername/share/file.txt works for me on FF11
(from a local html file: file:///C:/index.html)
