No, even on your remote host you should use something like "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Upload"

It may be a remote host for you, but from the server's point of view, the disk the file must be saved to is local, hence you use a local path.

If you don't know the exact physical location of the folder, use something like

myFolder = Server.MapPath("/Uploads")

to translate a virtual path into a physical path. Then use myFolder to save the file, e.g.:

Upload.Save(myFolder & myFileName)

While typing this post, I was listening to: Glass Eye by Ed Rush & Optical (Track 5 from the album: Wormhole #1) What's This?

so how do i know that there is a folder with this name in the pisical path of the server or no?and then when i want to download these uploaded items where should i link them?because i don't know where is my files.and should i write my files name in upload.save sentences?

This should all be in the upload control's documentation. Do you have a copy of the docs for this control? If not, I suggest you do get a copy and read a bit. It may speed up this project.

Anyway, you can use the FileSystemObject (FS) to see if a folder exists using FolderExists. If necessary, you can create the folder before you allow the upload. Search Google for FileSystemObject and FolderExists for some useful results.

Let's say you have a domain like www.yourdomain.com. With your ISP, this may map to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Customers\hastikeyvan

When you create a folder called Uploads (using FTP for example), the folder is accessible as http://www.yourdomain.com/Uploads
When you use Server.MapPath("/Uploads") to get the physical location of the Uploads folder in the root of your site you get C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Customers\hastikeyvan\Uploads

So, in that folder you can store the files, which can then be downloaded from http://www.yourdomain.com/Uploads


Does this help??

with a tree on the left with various methods of the FSO object like CreateFolder.

This page also brings you here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...filesystem.asp

i read that items to told me and read a book about fso.i get information about it.but where should i use it?when i want to download files i should use it to tell users if the file was exist or no? i can't understand where is the usage of fso.would you please tell me where should i use it?(i'm look silly yes?:">:()

i got it:D excuse me if i was so silly.thank you for your very very useful guidance.

what do you mean by upload documentation?i don't what is it and where i can find it.

I also don't know exactly what it is and where to find it because I don't know what control you're using ;)

However, often when you either purchase a commercial component or download a free one, some form of documentation is supplied. This documentation also provides examples showing you how to accomplish tasks like saving a file to disk.

Check the web site where you downloaded the component from.

Cheers,
