I have the following code an html form that posts to an asp page see "general" code below:

Add-Item-Form.html
<form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;Add-Item.asp&quot; enctype=&quot;multipart/form-data&quot;>
<tr>
<td align=&quot;Right&quot; width=&quot;380&quot;><P class=&quot;Yellow18Bold&quot;>ITEM PHOTO(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
<td align=&quot;Left&quot; width=&quot;380&quot;><input type=&quot;file&quot; name=&quot;txtItemPhoto2&quot; size=&quot;50&quot; tabindex=&quot;6&quot;></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=&quot;center&quot; colspan=&quot;2&quot;><input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;SubmitButton&quot; value=&quot;Add&quot; tabindex=&quot;7&quot;>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type=&quot;reset&quot; value=&quot;Clear&quot; tabindex=&quot;8&quot;></td>
</tr>
</form>

Add-Item.asp
(File Uploader Ojbect - called here)
<%For Each File In Uploader.Files.Items%>
<!---Save the file--->
<%Dim ImageFolder%>
<%ImageFolder = &quot;UploadedImages\&quot;%>
<%File.SaveToDisk (ImageFolder)%>
<%strIPName = &quot;UploadedImages\&quot; & File.FileName%>
<!--- will execute stored procedure: add_tblItemPhoto to insert header info into table: tblItemPhoto --->
<!-- #include file=&quot;_add-tblItemPhoto.asp&quot; --> <%Next%>

The html code works fine...
The &quot;file uploader object&quot; returns the correct information - (I.E. FileName)

The File.SaveToDisk is not working!!!!!
I get no error message, it's almost like it just doesn't run the command.

It does go to the next line and does the include - which runs a stored procedure to insert the FileName into a table that I later retrieve to display the file that was uploaded.

Why is the File.SaveToDisk not working???? The folder I'm save the file to is at the following location under the inetpub/
The code sits at inetpub/
Am I just using an incorrect path somewhere???? or would there be some sort of permission I'm missing???

Why don't you try to set the ImageFolder = &quot;fullpath&quot;
(ei. c:/mydocuments....)and see if the file is saved there?

The problem with that is that this is a web application. So if someone on the &quot;web&quot; uploades a file - won't it upload the the files to the &quot;c:/&quot; drive of the machine that the user is on - rather than on the web server itself. I need to be able to view whatever files/images are uploaded on the webserver on a different page from where it is uploaded.

I have exactly the same problem kpierick is with now.I try using a fullpath and it works, but if u host ur page in a webserver, most of the time u wouldn't know the fullpath . Hope any expert can help us

kpierick -> It won't , takes the server path.
So you need to make sure the path is right.
Get it with the servervariables.
To see all the servervariables paste this in an ASP.
<body>
<h1>Toon alle server variabelen:</h1>
<blockquote>
<table border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;3&quot;>
<tr valign=&quot;top&quot;>
<td align=&quot;right&quot;><b>server variabele</b></td>
<td><b>Waarde</b></td>
</tr>
<% For each key in Request.ServerVariables %>
<tr valign=&quot;top&quot;>
<td align=&quot;right&quot;><strong><%=key%></strong></td>
<td> <b><font color=&quot;#CC0000&quot;><%= Request.ServerVariables(key) %></font></b>
<% If Request.ServerVariables(key) = &quot;&quot; Then %>
<font color=&quot;#3300FF&quot;>Geen informatie beschikbaar</font>
<%End If %>
</td>
</tr>
<% Next %>
</table>
</blockquote>
<hr />
</body>

The following 2 will show you path data

<%= Request.ServerVariables(&quot;PATH_TRANSLATED&quot;)%>
<%= Request.ServerVariables(&quot;PATH_INFO&quot;)%>

have fun with it :)

thx man i think that should be what i need :D
but im not very sure which server variables to choose
i try using
Request.ServerVariables(&quot;PATH_TRANSLATED&quot;)

and guess this is the right one cause its the only i got error. i read articles said that uploading to the webserver require the admin to activate ur write permission or something like that. i got &quot;page cannot be view&quot; when using that path. Is it cause by the web permission?
