File Upload Control

J

Jonathan

I can't get files to upload using the above control in FP2003. I know the
IIS server is correct because I have many .asp pages on it.

When a file is selected from the browse button and then submitted nothing
appears in the target directory, however I can change the properties of the
form which is only giving me the option to submit to a database, a .csv file
or a CGI page etc.

There is no option to tell the control which directory to submit files.

What am I missing?

See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;299763&Product=fp2002
- your host needs to allow File Uploads

I am hosting the site on my PC (it's an intranet net site for staff to upload
certain documents to) so I thought I had all the FP server extensions loaded
- but I'll check the link for more help.

Thanks Stefan

You have to enable this particular component in your IIS/web server/host.
If you're testing it on your own system running the site from
http://localhost with FPSE and IIS, I don't think it will work, you need to
publish to a "real" web server.

Your host has to allow uploads to their server since there are various
security issues to consider.

I have followed the KB article to the letter and now get a completley
different message

Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions' Smart HTML interpreter on this
non-HTML page: http://mypc/upload.htm

I have recalculated the web in IIS administrator and run the server
extensions again so I am at a loss on what to do.

Any more ideas?
