Uploading files

[Phonez]

Does anyone know how to upload a file from a users computer onto the web server.

I am trying to do this so I can send the file as an attachment to an email address.

All of the scripts that I have seen on the web do not appear to work.

Any help appreciated

I've been trying the posting acceptor which seems to work fine for uploading a single file. Try to read the MS articles at

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnserv/html/server052499.asp

Use the following form format to upload your file :

<FORM method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;

http://myserver/scripts/cpshost.dll?publish?http://myserver/page.asp&quot;

id=fileform name=fileform enctype=&quot;multipart/form-data&quot;>

<INPUT type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;TargetURL&quot; value=&quot;

http://myserver/MyFiles&quot;>

<INPUT type=&quot;file&quot; name=&quot;MyFile&quot;>

<INPUT TYPE=&quot;Submit&quot; VALUE=&quot;Submit&quot;>
</FORM>

The cpshost.dll should be installed on your web server (run the setup when you download the posting acceptor from the MS site) and handles the file upload itself. Once the file upload is complete, the URL after ?PUBLISH? is loaded. This ASP page can still access the field properties of your form (including the non-file fields, if any). It's actually the final processing and output page that is displayed after the form submission.

Myfiles should be a virtual directory on your webserver that is linked to a path on your server's HDD. Make sure the users have read/write access to this directory or they won't be able to upload anything.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any problems with this code.

Unfortunately I can't find the file that you have to download from microsoft, it has been removed from the download center.

Any other ways of doing it?

phonez,

See the following link. This site gives you the code for 4 files to upload a file. You need to create the directory called &quot;Uploaded&quot; first. Works great and it's free!

You're right, it must have been removed last week (I downloaded it only two weeks ago). If you wish I could send it to you by email, but I guess it should come back online in a while (I don't know why Microsoft removed it in the first place).

I tried a free component that seems to work nicely and adds more features to the whole file upload thing. Try this link and see if you could use it too :
