A question with no answer? (upload from form)

[pAUL]

The Question: How do you get a upload form to work?

Many people in several MS Newsgroups have asked this
question, but none have seemed to recieve an answer. I
would wunder if a Microsoft moderator would be able to
take the time give a difinative answer to us all.

And please do not refer to a knowledge base article again.

Be mindful that in my case, I have several different webs
on two different ISPs. One is www.Host4students.com the
other www.totalchoicehosting.com. Both have FP 2002 SE
installed.

I have worked on this from the server itself and I still
get shaded out boxes on my folders properties menu. I
did get it to work ONLY if I make a subweb that is
password protected. But I don't want this, I want my
users to be able to upload any file they want without
entering a username or PW.

So, if you think you know the answer, let me know. and if
it works, I'll forward it to all of the others in these
groups that has seen my posts and asked to let them know
if I find the solution.

1) http://www.Host4students.com/ Has the FP2002 SE according to
http://www.Host4students.com/_vti_inf.html
2) http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/ Does not appear to have the FP SE at all
See http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/_vti_inf.html

Have you contacted your host to see if they are allowing File Upload in the FP SE setup?

I asked the same question recently. If you look at the
thread below your messaged dated 3/2 there is a response
indicating that if your host is running Apache Servers,
you are pretty much SOL as they (Apache Servers) do not
allow uploads like that as a security feature.

This turned out to be the problem in my case. You may
want to check into that with your host(s). Maybe they
have some servers that are NOT running Apache that they
could move you to.
