asp_web_howto thread: Uploading a file from a form


Message #1 by tjwondergem@t... on Thu, 23 May 2002 16:44:53
I'm trying to upload a file from a form using ASP

Some snippets of my code:

<input type="file" name="theFile">


<%

Dim strFile    'As String for File Path
Dim FSO        'As FileSystemObject for Copying the file

Set FSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strFile = Request.Form("theFile")
FSO.CopyFile(strFile, C:\files\, false)
FSO.Close
Set FSO = Nothing

%>

Am I way off here if I want to take that file and copy it to 
my "C:\files" folder?
Does the source of the CopyFile() Method have to be a string?

Thanks much!
Tim

Try aspsmartupload ... its a free component and it works great!

There are 2 ways to upload files from ASP page
1) Pure ASP - More code, more skills
2) Using Third-party componant.

You can get the souce code and learn how to do it from
http://www.stardeveloper.com/articles/042501-1.shtml

It is really helpfull.


Hope it will help.
