Upload

[Koger]

Hi

I use a windows application that can upload data to a http server.

I don't know exactly how the application uploads the data, but looking at
the data communication I can see that the application tries to post data of
type "multipart/form-data".

How can I make an asp script on my webserver that receives this data and
store in on the harddrive?

Likely the same than when using the input type=file tag.

You can then use any component or script that is able to process those
incoming data such as
http://www.freeaspupload.net/freeaspupload/viewsource.asp or
http://www.aspsmart.com/aspSmartUpload/ as well as others...

As a side note you should already have a page on this server to which the
application POSTs the data...

And here is a pure ASP (i.e. no components) resource for letting the
user upload a file which is something that was unfortunately not built
into ASP:

ASP File Upload Using VBScript by John R. Lewis - 7/10/2000

The above free code has worked well for me and you can copy and paste
the code sample which is white on gray (what were they thinking?) or
just highlight it and it becomes black on white.
