I came across a Chilkat component for upload and the component didn't install right. I tried a HTTP Upload example and nothing is uploaded. And then there is the question as to why these HTTP upload examples that I've come across never say anything about Username/Password for access to the site. I'm thinking, "people cannot just upload stuff to your site without some kind of permission...". So this is a bit confusing too. Then it dawned on me, "hey, I have a whole library of VB6 books. One of them at least must touch on this subject." Well, I have a book called "Professional VB6 Web Programming". A shiney brand new book that's been sitting there for a very long time. Guess now is a good time to crack the thing open. Thanks amigo. Webbiz

Permissions and access are so easy with PHP/ASP: <?php if ($_POST["Password"]=="secret") { echo 'Okay'; // Do file upload here } else { echo 'Not okay'; } ?> This could be based on a database. That's how online forums work, except that they use MD5 to store passwords, and compare the MD5 on the database with the entered password. If they are the same, then the password is the same. > Then it dawned on me, "hey, I have a whole library of VB6 books.

IMO you should stick to one method and debug this one. Have you tried to check the return value for each and every call in your first code ? This is where I would start... If not choosen yet : - With FTP, you'll have to configure your Linux server to be a ftp server (seems to work as you create a directory (unless you created it earlier ;-)) - With Http, you'll need your linux server to be a web server and have a page that gets the uploaded content to save it on the server - Another option could be to expose your Linux filesystem as a network drive (using perhaps something http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba_(software)). Likely gives more admin work but then you'll just another drive. -- Patrice |
