FTP via Web

[1DMF]

Is it possible to use Net::FTP to uplaod files to a websever from clients local machine?

How do you control the windows 'file dialog' to access local machine files and initiate file transfer?

ok I know there is the form field type 'file', but I don't want to upload via standard form submission and CGI.pm, it's too unreliable and cannot handle large files.

So what's the alternative?

Cheers,

For non tech savvy users, most of my clients, I use an app written in Foxpro which both zips and FTP's a database backup. The problem with that is the source filename, destination and FTP details are programmed into the script so would be anon starter if the database names were not constant.

that's exactly what I want to do!

However, I don't have the tools to do it!

I'd write it in MS access and wap it into an app with the runtime, but alas without MS VSTO you cannot do it with MSO 2003!
