Upload Security

I have a form which accepts 10 pictures to be uploaded.

When I try to upload just 1 pic 32kb

It is asking for user name and password.

How do I eliminate this.

Make sure the folder the images are uploaded to has the correct
permissions - the anonymous user has to be able to write to the folder.

Open the website in FrontPage
Right click on the folder and choose Properties
Clear the box "Allow scripts to be run"
Tick the box "Allow anonymous upload to this directory"
Optional - Tick the box "Allow uploaded files to overwrite existing
filenames" Ticking this box allows the uploaded file to overwrite a
file already in the folder.

Optional - Clear the box "Allow files to be browsed" This prevents
users from seeing the uploaded files without username and password.

When I get to Properties the check boxes are greyed and will not allow me
to select any of them. At this time none are checked.

Below is the code that I think is causing this.

<form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--"
onsubmit="location.href='_derived/nortbots.htm';return false;"
language="JavaScript" WEBBOT-onSubmit="return
FrontPage_Form1_Validator(this)" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<!--webbot bot="FileUpload" startspan
S-Email-Address="[email protected]" S-Email-Format="TEXT/PRE"
B-Email-Label-Fields="TRUE" S-Builtin-Fields S-Destination="CAdamsP-G.files/"
--><input TYPE="hidden" NAME="VTI-GROUP" VALUE="0"><input TYPE="hidden"
NAME="_charset_" VALUE="windows-1252"><!--webbot
bot="FileUpload" endspan i-checksum="58985" -->

None of the pages or forms in the website will affect the state of the
checkboxes - they relate to the *folder*, not the files in the folder.

You have opened the *online* website? the site on your PC will always
have grayed boxes since it is disc based, and the files will be uploaded
to the server, not your pc.

If you are looking at the online site, then your host does not allow you
to change permissions - ask them to change the permissions, or use the
site's control panel if you can change permissions from there.
