sebastien -> File Upload function problem (2/26/2002 12:12:57)

I am trying to add the "Upload files" feature on my page, and I followed all the directions on Help. It does not work! I created a folder that I named "upload". I right clicked the folder to change the properties... I cannot do the following (the boxed are already dimmed, and I cannot check/uncheck them):

Cancel the selection of the Allow scripts to be run option.
Select Allow anonymous upload to this directory.
Select Allow uploaded files to overwrite existing file names if you want existing files to be overwritten.

I can go in the file properties, but I cannot unclick "allow programs to be run" nor "allow scripts to be run" , all 3 options are unchecked and dimmed.

Thanks so much for your help.

Yes it does work, I got an Upload working at http://www.gethsemanebpc.com/test/feedback.htm

Sounds like yours could be a permission thing. Check with your host.

I have also set upload to work on an intranet. Do you have the FP2002 SE installed?

ah reckon, tharfo'e ah's, ah reckon.




DanJP -> RE: File Upload function problem (2/27/2002 8:17:48)

Sorry for the delay in answering you, but in order to get this to work properly, you must open the site directly on the server (not a disk copy) and create the directory. Also, your page seems to need to be saved as an .htm page not an .asp page. Hope this helps.

sometimes I feel like I'm working with all three hands tied behind my back...



sebastien -> RE: File Upload function problem (2/27/2002 11:15:23)

Thank for all your help.
I have Frontpage 2002, and I work directly on the server, not on the disc, and the pages are created on htm files.
Still doesn't work, I even contacted my host server, and they think it might be something wrong with the software.
Any other ideas?
Thanks a lot.




William Lee -> RE: File Upload function problem (2/27/2002 11:20:44)

Is your web able to run scripts at all. Some can only consist of static html pages. Do you have any other FP webbots components not working ? Does your host provide you with an anonymous ftp directory, maybe you can use that one instead.


William Lee



sebastien -> RE: File Upload function problem (2/27/2002 11:34:21)

I can run scripts with no problem at all, and the other FP webbots seem towork fine, which surprised me too. I tried to add an anonymous directory from my host, but it is confusing, and apparently, either i did something wrong, or it didn't work.




William Lee -> RE: File Upload function problem (2/27/2002 11:38:11)

ok so the checkboxes are dimmed, are you able to go ahead and try out the page with the Upload element and perhaps by some freaking chance it will work

William Lee



sebastien -> RE: File Upload function problem (2/27/2002 11:42:34)

It doesn't work, the page is here: http://ibookportfolio.com/women/newfaces111.htm and on the top of the form, it says: [FrontPage File Upload Component]

I have a feeling that the problem comes from my host server, but they say no.




Mike54 -> RE: File Upload function problem (2/27/2002 11:49:08)

sebastien,

You didn't indicate whether your ISP has the FP 2002 server extensions installed. If they have FP 2000 installed most of the components will work but not the upload feature. From the FP Help file:
To test the functionality of your form, you must first publish your web site to a web server running either the Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 or SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft. Ask your web server administrator or Internet Service Provider whether this software is installed.

ah reckon, tharfo'e ah's, ah reckon.




sebastien -> RE: File Upload function problem (2/27/2002 11:51:57)

They advertise Fp 2000 & 2002, but I'll email them now to db check.




William Lee -> RE: File Upload function problem (2/27/2002 11:52:12)

I have this same feeling.. they usually say no.

I still think it has to do with permissions partly. Do you have anywhere in your hosting plan that allows you to set permissions for individual directory/folder? Maybe they are set from that channel.


William Lee



sebastien -> RE: File Upload function problem (2/27/2002 11:56:03)

I also really thinks it's a permission issue. I cannot set the permissions from the host server I don't think, I just asked them the question, and I should get an answer soon. They are fast to respond usually.
Maybe they can do it for me, I hope.




Mike54 -> RE: File Upload function problem (2/27/2002 11:58:45)

I just did a quick check here on the URL you posted http://www.dnswiz.com/fptype.htm and it indicated that the SE were not installed.

ah reckon, tharfo'e ah's, ah reckon.

Thats strange Mike, I checked earlier and it said it is installed , IIS5.0.

Sebastien, can you verify your FPSE by going into your server live and click Tools>Web Settings and look in the General tab that says Server Version.



William Lee



sebastien -> RE: File Upload function problem (2/27/2002 12:20:09)

It says this under FrontPage server extension version: 5.0.2.2623
My host server help desk just tols me that FP 2002 extensions are installed.

OK, can you try publishing the web that your upload page is in into a subweb and we see from there. Hope it is not too much work.

William Lee -> RE: File Upload function problem (2/27/2002 13:49:52)

*ignore this, sorry

Mike54 -> RE: File Upload function problem (2/27/2002 16:00:18)

William,

I've tried it from two machines at work and now at home and I still get "No" for server extensions. If they are installed they could be damaged???

ah reckon, tharfo'e ah's, ah reckon.




sebastien -> RE: File Upload function problem (2/27/2002 16:02:55)

Thanks so much for your help, I have reinstalled the extensions yesterday, and when I checked today, i was still in queue for installation, not sure how long it takes for them to reinstall them...




caywind -> RE: File Upload function problem (2/27/2002 21:22:54)

My general experience with some of the built-in functions of FP is that if the wizard or whatever creates the page or site botches on one little step it is better to delete the whole thing and start over! Usually, when you see [Front Page component] displayed on a page it means that the component is broken. Save time to start from scratch....

All this to change a number into a name...

It could be. Then again, sometimes when I query dnswiz.com/fptype.htm I got redirected back to the same page without returning any results... so much for its reliability.

caywind -> RE: File Upload function problem (2/28/2002 15:55:49)

I get no extensions on anything past www.ibookportfolio.com. What system is a Zeus?

<spellcheck> </spellcheck>



sebastien -> RE: File Upload function problem (2/28/2002 16:19:54)

The host server told me that the extensions work for the entire website.
Is that possible that they wouldn't work for a specific folder?

Not unless they are women-haters, thats the name of your upload folder isn't it? ;-)

anyway, I think your best bet is to use the anonymous directory provided by your host. You just need to browse to this directory for your File Upload options.

Good luck

caywind -> RE: File Upload function problem (2/28/2002 20:56:14)

So, Perhaps a little brief 4 me about the upload component of FP 2002.
<psuedo>
the user wants to send a file up for retrieval from another terminal...
the user enters a form that asks for ? (filename)....
the upload is activated on press submit...
The file goes ???
where on the server???
</psuedo>
Does the host set up this location ???
Is it using HTTP or FTP?
I don't have 2002 so I can't try it
Oh try this URLhttp://support.microsoft.com/directory/article.asp?ID=KB;EN-US;Q288716&

<spellcheck> </spellcheck>



caywind -> RE: File Upload function problem (2/28/2002 21:04:22)

Dude, Zeus is apache! Does that mean all of the other Gods were Indian too! Sorry could'nt help it...

No windows with Zeus. No upload with apache...

Ahh.you finally solved the thing. Now I know it doesn't work on Apache web and what is all that about the Zeus thingy? Don't think it'll work on that too.

In using the File Upload component, a folder/directory must be selected for the files to be uploaded. This folder must not allow scripting and must allow anonymous upload.

The folder is selected by the FP author. Transfer HTTP I presume.

You won't miss it if you don't have Win server

sebastien -> RE: File Upload function problem (3/1/2002 0:28:18)

I emailed my host server, and here is the answer... They do not allow file uploads!!
Does anybody know of a good server that allows anonymous files???

Thanks a lot!


No one can post anything to your account if a user doesn't have your password.

That kind of setting you requite is not provided at A+ Hosting, as such anonymous upload directories are perfect for people to upload and swap illegal files.
