[Q] downloading files the via hyperlink on website

I currently access a website that has the ability to download selected files from the click of a hyperlink. (on the PC). By clicking on the link the files come down and a dialog box opens with the downloaded file asking, to open it or save it.
When I try to do the same on my phone the website appears to be accepting depressing the link, however nothing appears on my phone asking to open or save it and I cannot find the file anywhere. It may be downloading the file in the file structure but I cannot find it. My friend who has an iPhone does the same thing and the file opens up immediately on his phone just like you would on a PC.
I've tried using the stock browser and the dolphin browser. The phone is a stock charge the gingerbread update.
I can open these files if they are sent to me in an e-mail but not by depressing this hyperlink on the website.
Anyone have any ideas?
Try long pressing on the link and hitting save as or save target or whatever it says
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
I have tried long pressing the link and that opens up a dialog box with the following.
open
open in new window
bookmark link
save link
share link
copy link URL
Nothing about saving or opening files.

VPN and file browsing?

Hi guys, I am new to Android (Galaxy Note) from iOS.
I have successfully connected to my works VPN. How do I browse files on the device?
On my windows PC I connect to the VPN and then use explorer to browse to this directory:
//D*****R/DATA/SERVER/Filing cabinet/
This directory contains all our invoices in excel format. I want to be able to look at them and edit them.
I downloaded a file explorer program but that asks me to put all the server details in again. I tried that and it said couldn't connect.
Anyone else use VPN for work?
Help?
Thanks.

[Q] Unable to download files from hosting web sites

Hello,
by trying to download any data from for example apkapplications.com
I get a .html file or other files with a small size.
Is there a possibility to download full data?
Cheers,

Try using firefox
Look in the market for an app called download all files. Or download astro file manager and hit menu, preferences and enable browser download. Should help you out.
I checkmarked the option to allow any data downloading by using Astro File Manager.
Thanks a lot.

[Q] Android - How to open a file directly from a server.

Hello everyone,
I'm an android user, with a Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.1.
I have a QNAP NAS which I can easily access from my android phone via WebDav or Ftp.
Currently, when I select a file (doc, xls), it downloads the file to my phone and then opens it in in it's respective application.
When I edit the file and save it, the changes are only made to the local file which was downloaded to my phone. I then have to upload the file back to the server and overwrite the existing file. Such a pain!
Are there any methods or applications that will open the file directly from the server? Such that edits and saves are done on the server instead of on my phone?
Thanks,
Daxton

try File Expert, I think could help you.
Thanks Ikubik,
Unfortunately File Expert doesn't work.
It connects via FTP and gives me a directory listing.
However, when clicking on a file, it says "Opening Directory..." and then does nothing. It doesn't even appear to download anything either.
This is really chapping my a**. You'd think this would be possible??
I've tried FX file manager - connects via ftp - only opens files as read-only
Solid Explorer - connects via ftp - saves files locally for editing & changes are not made on the server
X-Plore, couldn't establish connection
Kingsoft Office - Has WebDav support which refused to connect
ES File Manger - Same result as Solid Explorer
How to people manage their files on the go?
I want to get away from online cloud services and manage my own data. Apparently, this is more difficult that I thought.
I found an application call FolderSync which keeps your server files synchronized with your android. But, it downloads all of your network files to your phone. I've got 13 gigs of documents = no thanks.
Any other suggestions?
