Hi,
I need to create an app that checks a directory, determines if there are any text files and if there are, posts them to another server in a similar way to the HTML page below. It must include the "encType="multipart/form-d
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<META content="MSHTML 6.00.2800.1400" name=GENERATOR></HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM action="https://asp.mydoma
<INPUT type="file" name="linkfile"> <INPUT type="submit" value="Submit Query" name="Send File">
<INPUT type="hidden" value="MyLink" name="E">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
I've tried using the HTTP Post method below, but it doesn't seem to work. Is this the right way to do it or is there some other way? Should I be using a VB.NET application anyway? How does "encType="multipart/form-d
Dim strAddress As String = "https://asp.mydomain.com/
Dim strFile as string = "C:/MyDir/test.txt"
Dim myWebClient As New WebClient
Dim arrResponse As Byte() = myWebClient.UploadFile(str
Dim strResponse As String = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(a

Hi Greg,
I am loading the file onto a different server and the server receives the file correctly when using the HTML code above.
The file upload should occur whenever there is a new file in the directory.
I've also tried HTTP Put but this didn't work either. I think there is an issue with the "encType="multipart/form-d
Malcolm
it most likely fails on the put because PUT is not allowed.

this will guide you through writing a file watching service.
What is the enctype being received by the server when you do it through code ?
Thanks for that link Greg. Now if I can just get the Post to work I'd be sorted!
I'm not exactly sure what you meant by "What is the enctype being received by the server when you do it through code ?", but when I use WebClient in my code above I get the same response message (strResponse) as I do if I got straight to the address in IE without posting anything. Thus, it appears the recipient server page is not receiving anything.
Any ideas?

I am using this currently without issue.
As for whether or not you should be ...
I will start with my presumptions.
1) You are uploading this info to a different server.
2) This should occur always (new file = upload)
It sounds to me like this should be a windows service ( http://www.developerfusion
Sorry if I can not be of complete assistance,
