Delivering files to a specific location

BlueZone Web-to-Host supports the ability to deliver a single file or multiple files to a specific location on your users’ computers.

About this task

You can deliver virtually any type of file, such as MSI packages, help files, fonts, web controls, and so on, to a location that you specify on the user's computers.

For example, you can include a favorite font file that you want to deliver with BlueZone. Or, you can deliver the BlueZone compiled help (.CHM) files to users that do not otherwise have access to the BlueZone HTML Help website because they do not have internet access.

This example is going to CAB the bluezone.chm file. To make this procedure work for you, substitute the file you want to download for bluezone.chm.

Procedure

/
Open the DOS command prompt.
Navigate to the directory where the file that you want to deliver is located.
Type the following command. Ensure that you use the proper location and file name:
C:\My Files>makecab bluezone.chm bluezone.cab
On the web server, navigate to the site where you want to include the CAB file. For example:
C:\InetPub\wwwroot\MySite
Copy the new CAB file into the \cabs folder.
In the same site directory, open the \template folder and edit the following files:
1. Open the default.dst file in any text editor.
2. Add the CAB file name to the list so is is downloaded to your users.
3. Save and close the file.
4. Open default.ini in any text editor and add the following:
```
[bluezone.cab]
DestDir=C:\Program Files\BlueZone
```
  The bluezone.cab file is downloaded, automatically unpacked, and written to the location that you specified in DestDir=.
5. Save and close the file.
