please take a look at line 9 for the ASP Simple Upload script (
http://www.asphelp.com/ASPSimpleUpload/Docs/)
,
which is: NewFileName = "/Uploads/" & upl.ExtractFileName(upl.Fo
rm("File1"
))
i've been testing the script and noticed something odd. there is a sequence that needs to be followed in order to see the oddity:
1. upload file using the original code. it uploads to the /Uploads/ directory of web server root. directory "Uploads" is created if it does not already exist.
2. change the code by appending a new directory to the /Uploads/. make it, say, /Uploads/new/ and try uploading again. it works and saves the file in /Uploads/new/ directory. directory "new" under "Uploads" is create if it does not already exist.
3. go into the web server root and delete the directory /Uploads/ -- which will delete the file uploaded to it, delete the sub-directory /new/, and file uploaded to /new/.
4. keeping the new code with /Uploads/new/ -- try uploading again. i get this error:
**************************
**********

***
Error:
There was an error writing the uploaded file to the disk. Please check the permissions on the SERVER and make sure the directory (whatever my web server root is\Uploads\test\) has write permission for the group "Everyone"
**************************
**********

***
There was an error saving the file to disk.
apparently, the script can only create up to one directory. is this correct? must the directory already exist if i want to upload anything beyond the /Uploads/ directory?
another observation of mine: if u cancell the upload process by clicking the stop button of the browser and try uploading again, it sometimes doesn't seem to want to upload anymore. closing the browser and trying it again usually solves the problem. what gives?
