FP Form security issue

P

Peter Afonin

Hello:

I created a form in Frontpage 2003 that collects information from the user
and submits it to the email address. When I publish it on my localhost -
everything works great. However, when I publish it to my web hosting
provider's server every time I click Submit it prompts me (or anyone) for
the Username and password for this site.

Logically, since this form works fine on my machine, there is nothing wrong
with the form itself, it has something to do with security on provider's
server. However, I don't have this problem with the other similar forms, I
tried this with two different providers - one Windows, another Unix - and
both couldn't find out what was going on. We tried to remove all security
from the sites and give all permissions - this still didn't help. I'm using
a main valid e-mail address for the site, so this is not an issue either.
Even tried to recreate an account and reinstall FP extensions.

Did anybody else have similar problem? This is a very weird one.

I would appreciate your comments.

Thank you,

You are attempting to use the FP 2002 File Upload to an Email Address instead of a file location on your server (<!--webbot
bot="FileUpload"...) - not possible
File Upload requires the FP2002 SE, a host that allows file uploads, and must be set up in the Online server per
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;299763&Product=fp2002

Thank you very much, Stefan. You're correct. I removed the upload component
for now, and it works OK.
