Help on sending file using HTML INPUT TYPE

[Marcel Kuo]

I have an application requirement that needs to collect several files from access database and send the file over to a web sites periodically.
The web sites uses <INPUT TYPE> for user to upload file. How do I program VB such that I can send the file over the HTTP protocol?

Hi Marcel,

Have you considered XML and SOAP? That is what they were designed for.

Generally, this requires an ActiveX control that runs on
the Web server and extracts the uploaded file from the
visitor's request. Your VB code can then do whatever it
likes with the file, such as saving it to disk.

Most Windows-based hosts provide at least one such
ActiveX control free on all servers. Consult your host's
support pages for further information.
