I have given up trying to figure out how to upload images to a web server.
So, to make it easy can someone suggest a script I can purchase that is good.
All the free scripts and I cannot piece it together so it works in my project.
Last alternative is buying the script.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

given up, or almost given up?
here is the Persists ASPUpload (http://www.aspupload.com/) dll you are looking for.
what problems are u running in to? coding problems or permissions problems?
persists product works fine. still, it isnt too difficult to create your own. if u need help, post back with specific issues. else, go ahead and buy persists. however, if your issues are permissions problems, that wont make 'em go away.

Hey Russell,
Its not permission problems.....its coding problems. The couple of free scripts I tried using did not work out. Its been two weeks.........LOL. I am desperate now.
So, Russell......I basically am trying to upload an image file to a directory on a web server. I would then reference the path thats stored in the database so the image can than be displayed in my HTML document.
I already have the HTML and database done....Its just the scripting.

anyway, tired its late. i'll post back tomorrow with a generic file upload that works.

ok, sorry, i took a little holiday break. here is a method that i know works. it is adapted originally from free asp upload which can be found here (http://www.freeaspupload.net/freeaspupload/download.asp), then another script originally written by a great programmer named Kenny Le.

If Request.TotalBytes > 0 Then
oUpload.Save("c:\tmp\")
End If
Note one important omission from the form -- we do not allow the user to enter a description or name of the file. there are 2 reasons for this:
(1) it is a lot easier if we have a form just for file uploading and nothing else and (2) it is never a good idea to let users name files. a better solution is to simply accept the file name, then rename it with a randomly generated file name. we can store the original name and our new name in the database if we like. Why, you ask? Because if someone uploads a malicious file, they are going to try to execute it. Much better if they dont know the name of it. This won't stop a serious hacker maybe, but it will stop the easy automated attacks -- which happen to be the most common kind.
Note that the class files do not need to be modified unless you want to parse more form data than just the file upload, or want to add in the file name randomizer. I'll be happy to show code for both if you want.
only thing needs to be modified is the oUpload.Save("c:\tmp\") call in the form processing script, passing the path where you want the files actually saved. remeber the service account will need modify permission on the directory where files are stored.
Merry Xmas. Psot back with any questions

Russell, now the path I want to store the pictures in .....should it look like this?
oUpload.Save("/Folder1/myweb/images")
russell
12-26-2006, 03:42 PM
no it should look like c:\somedirectory\
can use Server.MapPath("/Folder1/myweb/images/") if u want to use relative path
ASPSQLVB
12-26-2006, 03:49 PM
Russell,
I an executing this on the Web Sever now. Looks like the error is here
<%
Dim oUpload
Set oUpload = New clsUpload
If Request.TotalBytes > 0 Then
oUpload.Save("\aspsqlvb\keenesolutions.com\images")
End If
set oUpload = Nothing
%>
Here is the ERROR I am getting
THE PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED.
russell
12-26-2006, 04:36 PM
use absolute path, not relative path. else use server.mappath
I keep getting HTTP 500 INTERNAL ERROR THE PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED
Russel, what do you mean by the permissions ?
russell
12-26-2006, 06:20 PM
does the account running iis have permission to write to that directory?
what type of authentication do u have? integrated or anonymous? if integrated, everyone needs permission to the actual unc path. if anonymous, you need to go to the iis mmc and see what account is running the web site, make sure it has permissions to write to the directory specified.
seems u have multiple web sites in path. is this a server you personally have full control over or a hosted server?
what happens if you response.write Server.MapPath("\aspsqlvb\keenesolutions.com\images\")
dont post the answer here to that last one. just make sure u understand the actual physical path and that the service account has permission to modify that directory.
finally, what changed since u first got it working and now it doesnt?

Russell, I sent you a personal message with answers to your question.

Russell, using my FTP program I can access the folder on the web server. I right click that folder and I see READ, WRITE and EXECUTE are all checked.
ASPSQLVB
12-26-2006, 09:15 PM
Russell,
In the Control Panel that is available to customers that have accounts with this particular web hosting company, there is a feature that can be used to upload files using a BROWSE button to the folder I wish.
Exactly the same thing I hope to do using a HTML DOCUMENT.
So, since I can upload to the folder I want, would this suggest that the permissions would not be an issue?
ASPSQLVB
12-26-2006, 11:42 PM
These are the attributes I see within my FTP program for the Folder I want to upload images to: rwxrwxrwx
Looks like read, write and execute for all.
I found an interesting web page that talks about this .

YOU have permission, but the account that the web server is running under may not.
Do this:
Copy / Paste the following code. Make it an ASP file. Dont put any code in it except what you pasted from below.
FTP it to the Root of your website, then go to that page in your web browser.
Copy/Paste the results back here.
<%
Dim fso
Dim tst
Dim dct
Dim strm
Dim blnFSO
Dim fl
Set dct = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
If Err.number <> 0 Then
.Write "<span style=color:red>FAILED</span><br>Unable to create instance of Scripting.Dictionary. This component is not available on your server"
Else
.Write "OK"
End If
Err.Clear
.Write "<p>scrrun.dll -- Create FileSystemObject..."
Set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

End If
Err.Clear
If blnFSO Then

fl = Server.MapPath("/images/") & "/test.txt"
Set tst = fso.OpenTextFile(fl, 1, true)

Else
.Write "OK"
End If
End If
Err.Clear

Set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Err.Clear
Else
.Write "OK"
End If

thats on the remote server that u are having problems with, not your local machine, right? in that case, you just need to make sure the path is right when you go to save the image,
oUpload.Save(Server.MapPath("/images/"))
russell
12-27-2006, 10:45 AM
by the way, that simple test just created a file in your images directory called test.txt. u may want to delete that...

Russell,
I just talked to the owner and he said whatever needs to be done please send it in an email and he will forward it over to his technicians who configure the server settings.
Is there something that needs to be asked ?
ASPSQLVB
12-27-2006, 10:54 AM
Actually, that test.txt was not created on the Server directory.
russell
12-27-2006, 11:26 AM
tell him you need the account running iis to have modify permissions on your images directory.
ASPSQLVB
12-27-2006, 11:33 AM
Will do......by the way, thank you so much for sticking with me through this. I really do appreciate all your effort Russell.
I will get back to you as soon as possible.
