aspSmartUpload: How Do I Check If File is Valid Before Upload??

[webIntern]

Hi all,

I have a form that allows users to upload files to the server. How do I check, either on the client side before upload OR server side after upload, if the file is valid?

For example, say a user selects file to upload but manually changes the file name in the input box to one that doesn't exist on their drive. What happens is that a new file (of size 0 kb) with that name is created on the server. How do I prevent this? The only way I could think of was to check the individual file size (which is 0 if it's an invalid file), but it doesn't look like aspSmartUpload allows this if I'm uploading multiple files from one form. PLEASE HELP!!!

There is code in this script that checks if the file exsists... I dont have time to put the code here right now.

I can't seem to find it on the site. Can you tell me where the script is?

Thanks sooo much.

Look at the menu.

View Source
or
Download

I downloaded the script and it works fine, the only thing you may have to do with the folder is allow write permissions which you would most likely have to do with any script that uploads a file.

I have a script to upload. I only need to either

a) check file size BEFORE actually saving the files to the server

or

b) check if the file actually exists on the client side prior to upload.

I don't need a new upload script. I am now able to uploading, I'd just like to check the validity of the file I'm uploading. Hope that makes sense. I'm using aspSmartUpload.

Well you don't have to use that code but what you want is in it, but to be more on the dot check out FileExsist on this page

It has an example
