A simple but somewhat flimsy solution depending on whether you're expecting a consistent screen size in your target environment ; is to use the java. Robot class as below.. You could also try the ChromeDriver for selenium; as I've noticed chrome doesn't have an OS dialogue for download confirmation.
When you are using selenium web driver with for Firefox profile , the best way to deal with the modal window is by changing the Firefox profile settings to automatically downloading the file to the desired location. The way we have accomplished this is sending keys to the browser window. Agreed its not the best solution but its quick and works. We did this on IE9 with the selenium web driver for IE and the scenario we wanted to automate was a submit button click that would end up downloading a file on the browser.
The way we accomplished this was clicking submit on a thread because submit blocks till the action is taken to either progress or cancel the download on the download bar. Once on the save button send the Down arrow key which opens up the menu on the save button and then a couple of down arrow keys more followed by Enter opens up the save as dialog.
Here is the code snippet written in C :. The Save dialog opens up. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

One potential solution is to obtain the URL for the file via Selenium, create a non-Selenium connection, copy Selenium's cookies to the connection if necessary , and download the file.
Since this method utilizes non-Selenium APIs to download the file, it will work with or without any browser. For more info, see my answer here: stackoverflow. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes.

If the cookie is found, stop checking every ms, expire the cookie and call your function to come back to your page and remove the waiting spinner removeWaitingSpinner. It is important to expire the cookie if you want to be able to download another file again!
That cookie will be sent to the client when your file will be ready for download. I'm very late to the party but I'll put this up here if anyone else would like to know my solution:. I had a real struggle with this exact problem but I found a viable solution using iframes I know, I know. It's terrible but it works for a simple problem that I had. I had an html page that launched a separate php script that generated the file and then downloaded it.
On the html page, i used the following jquery in the html header you'll need to include a jquery library as well :. To break this down, jquery first launches your php script in an iframe. The iframe is loaded once the file is generated. Then jquery launches the script again with a request variable telling the script to download the file. The reason that you can't do the download and file generation all in one go is due to the php header function.
If you use header , you're changing the script to something other than a web page and jquery will never recognize the download script as being 'loaded'. I know this may not necessarily be detecting when a browser receives a file but your issue sounded similar to mine. When the user triggers the generation of the file, you could simply assign a unique ID to that "download", and send the user to a page which refreshes or checks with AJAX every few seconds.
Once the file is finished, save it under that same unique ID and If you don't want to generate and store the file on the server, are you willing to store the status, e. Your "waiting" page could poll the server to know when the file generation is complete.
You wouldn't know for sure that the browser started the download but you'd have some confidence. I just had this exact same problem. My solution was to use temporary files since I was generating a bunch of temporary files already.
The form is submitted with:. This will cause the load event on the iframe to be fired. Then the wait message is closed and the file download will then start. Tested on IE7 and Firefox. If you have download a file, which is saved, as opposed to being in the document, there's no way to determine when the download is complete, since it is not in the scope of the current document, but a separate process in the browser.
BUT onload does not fire in IE for file downloads like with the attachment header token. Polling the server works, but I dislike the extra complexity.
So here is what I do:. But really, if your sites that busy the long running process will starve you of threads anyways. A quick solution if you only want to display a message or a loader gif until the download dialog is displayed is to put the message in a hidden container and when you click on the button that generate the file to be downloaded you make the container visible. Then use jquery or javascript to catch the focusout event of the button to hide the container that contain the message.
If Xmlhttprequest with blob is not an option then you can open your file in new window and check if eny elements get populated in that window body with interval. Then the server-side overrides this cookie with an earlier expiration age -- the completion of the server process. As soon as the cookie expiration is detected in the JS polling, "Loading You can rely on the browser's cache and trigger second download of the same file when the file is loaded to the cache.

To address this, Unix added the file permission feature to specify how much power each user has over a given file or directory. In this tutorial, you will learn how to view and change file permissions in Linux.
To start with file permissions, you have to find the current Linux permission settings. There are two options to choose from, depending on your personal preference: checking through the graphical interface or using the command. Locate the file you want to examine, right-click on the icon, and select Properties.
This opens a new window initially showing Basic information about the file. Navigate to the second tab in the window, labeled Permissions.
For each file, the owner can grant or restrict access to users according to the categories they fall in. In our example, the owner of the file test. Therefore, they can only open the file, but cannot make any modifications.
