Apache servers and uploading files

P

plh

Hello All,
I put a file upload form on my web page, only to discover that it
won't work by design: (The provider uses Apache servers)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;831022
Is there an alternative? I really wanted an upload feature on this web
site. What I want to do is have it email the files directly to me.
This is for a class I am teaching: the idea is for students to have a
convenient way to get files to me.
Is there an alternative within FrontPage? If not, what is another way
to accomplish this, and where can I find out the information I would
need to bring it off?
Thank You,
-plh

The alternative are PHP or CGI-Perl, however if the user upload the file to your site, they will not
be emailed to you, you would have to retrieve them from the folder within your web site either via
FTP or open the site on the server in FP.

The best option is to check with your host to see what solutions they have available.

Why not just have the users attached them to an email message, if you want to received them in a
email
