file upload location 1

[mattbold]

hello,

i read some other posts about uploading files and found the resource on the O'Reilly site very useful, and uploading files is working fine when i have:

Dim savePath As String = "C:\temp\"

But how do i go about storing the uploaded file in a directory relative to where the aspx files are stored? i've been fiddling around with the savepath changing it to things like "DJs\" and "\DJs\", but to no avail...

any help would be much appreciated!

matt: Here's a path routine that I use in an upload photo page; perhas there's a hint there for you.

Dim sPath as String
Dim sFile as String
Dim sFullPath as String
Dim sSplit() as String
Dim sPathFriendly as String

'Upload to same path as script
'Internet Anonymous User must have write permissions

sPath = Server.MapPath(".\Photos&quot
If Right(sPath, 1) <> &quot;\&quot; then
sPathFriendly = sPath 'Friendly path name for display
sPath = sPath & &quot;\&quot;
Else
sPathFriendly = Left(sPath, Len(sPath) - 1)
End If

'Save as same file name being posted
'The code below resolves the file name
'(removes path info)
sFile = txtUpload.PostedFile.FileName
sSplit = Split(sFile, &quot;\&quot
sFile = sSplit(Ubound(sSplit))
sFullPath = sPath & sFile
Try
....

Let me know if this helps.

cheers man, is working marvellously now (as far as i'm aware!) it was the Server.MapPath that was missing...
