2781Understanding File Uploadhttp://www.15seconds.com/Issue/001003.htmAs you probably know, Microsoft has one free DLL, namely CPSHOST.DLL, with which you can upload files. It requires a folder with write permissions since it is there where the file(s) will be posted (saved) when they arrive to the Web server (IIS). Another drawback is that you are focusing only on file uploading and not on other uploading possibilities. Remember, when you upload a file, you can also upload (post) any other inputs, such as the input file, input checkbox, input password, and input image, etc. And you can check their value just as if you were posting an ordinary form.
So when you upload a file you are really posting a form's content to the browser by using a different encoding type (enctype) in your form. That encoding is specified as enctype="multipart/form-data" as an attribute of your form.
The specification in RFC 1867 "Form-based File Upload in HTML" describes the mechanism by which a file may be uploaded from a Web browser to the server.ASP > Tips and Tutorials > File ManipulationOct 10, 2006
The author writes "ASP has the ability to write .html or any other text based documents directly to a web server (You need to write the text output to a directory that has write authority). This enables the instantaneous publication of user input without the need for uploading files from a PC." This example code shows how to write text based documents to a server using ASP.
This tutorial is aimed to show you how it is possible to retrieve a remote file via ASP and FTP without using a 3rd-party component. Windows plateform usually come with FTP.exe which is located in folder : C:WINNTsystem32. This utility can be drive from dos command line in order to connect to a FTP server,browse a FTP Directory, download and put file in the FTP site.
This article is number three in a series of articles I wrote about uploading and displaying binary data with ASP. The first article was about Uploading binary data to the database, second was on Displaying binary data from the database and the third one ( this one ) is going to be on 'Uploading files to the server hard disk
The File Access Component of ASP allows you to manipulate files on your server using ASP code. The first thing you should understand is what objects are available, and what their properties are. They are Drive, File, FileSystem, and Folder. There is also a Drives collection, a Files collection, and a Folders collection. Finally, the Textstream object is useful for moving data to and from files. Current specs for these objects are available from Microsoft's web site; you can click here to see a pop-up window with a relatively complete listing of the objects and their properties and methods.
