Uploading Pitctures/Files - 6/13/2001 16:52:00
"You are correct. We do not have anything on the server like asp upload.
You can write standard asp code that will allow you to upload pictures/files to your site.
We offer coding support for $75.00 per hour with one hour minimum."This was my response to the inquiry about whether or not they had a third party app on the NT server that would allow me to upload files/pictures. I need to allow for the upload of pictures and files on my site. Does anyone have any suggestions. I know about great apps like ASP upload but am I correct in thinking that this app must reside on the server? They are telling me that standard ASP code can be written which will allow for this. Is this different than an app like ASP upload. Thanks in advance. ------------------

Oh Goody!I can use this too! I was going to have users email in photos and then load them manually until I figured a way to have them upload them themselves. Looks like I found another fix! ![]("http://www.frontpagewebmaster.com/ubb/smile.gif") This is a Great Place! CC

Spooky. I am attemping to use one of these. Here is the problem that I am running into:This is the error I get when I attmpt to upload: Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'
Server.CreateObject Failed
/Maint/NewUpload/upload.asp, line 3
Invalid class string Here is line 3 of upload.asp: Post.Upload "E:\wwwroot\mscca2\images\campphotos" Obviously this something is wrong with the path that I am using. I have verified on the spooky login diagnostics that this is indeed the path. Is it because it is calling for a username and password? What could it be. ------------------

Check that folders permissions. Maybe they are set to not allow writes.

It may be your server/host is the problem. Which one of the two techniques did you use? Joe

You will need write permissions for the folder to allow the FSO to write to a file.It is possible to call a Response.Status = "401 Access Denied" to establish identity, but its best to get writable directory if you want many users to post.
Remember to consider security of your web site when you start allowing uploads and try and restrict them to images only. ------------------

Spooky,Only admins will have access to the upload and that is only me and one other person. How do I make this folder writeable using FP or is that something my host will have to do on their side? ------------------

At the top of your web page, using :<%
Response.Status = "401 Access Denied"
%> Should result in a login box being presented.
This is your Author password for the site.
It should allow you to be recognised as a valid user, and thus have full author permissions (which include write) No guarantees of course, I havent used it in this way before ------------------

Whoa!This could be dangerous! If I use either method I would have to give permissions to all users! I didn't look that closely at the code but I'm sure there is a way to tell the script to only upload image files. What if a user tries to diguise a virus as an image file. e.g. virus.gif. I'm sure that things like this can be done as I have a friend that downloaded an mp3 file from Napster. He got a message on his descktop "your computer has been hacked" and a 2 gig file embeded in his hard drive which had to be then thrown in the trash. How do we avoid a user from uploading a virus? CC

Best you can do, is check the file extension for valid types (in code) and make sure you cant execute files from that directory.------------------
