ASPUpload vs. ASPSmartUpload
- Thread starter bmd2k3
- Start date
The plus with aspUpload is that it is more robust than aspSmart Upload.
It will allow you to set security on the folder containing your files.
will also ensure that no uploads will be successful unless a file is uploaded.
Finally, it ensures that you just can't upload files from any folder or directory.
The big minus is that you have to purchase the upload component.
aspSmart upload on the other hand, is free but not secure at all, even though they claim it is.
I have written upload scripts using both.
The one I wrote with aspUpload works great but my company is not in a mood to pay for the component.
So I wrote another one using aspSmart Upload.
What is happening with it so far is that it doesn't matter how much security you set, it doesn't how closely you followed their manual about restricting access to only certain folders, about ensuring that certain extensions such as jpg get uploaded, you can do pretty much anything you want.
That is my experience. Someone else might have a different spill on them.
