File upload with ASP

Does anyone know how you do a file upload using ASP. I don't mean the HTML form, thats the easy bit. Just I can't see anywhere where the file data is returned to the ASP routine.

YOu need something that will accept the data. Microsoft has ther Posting Acceptor or you can download FileSA(something like that) from www.activeserver.com

Thanks thats what I needed. I've had a play with the Posting Acceptor (if something so painful can be described as play) and hit across the problem that it could seem to see the login user and thus kept throwing the access error or if I used the Active X component came out with the illuminating error message of 'invalid parameter'!

I hear what you are saying about coding it myself but frankly supporting the Acceptor would be a bigger problem. So far as buying something in I hate to pay someone else when I can get someone to pay me instead :)

Thanks

I would like your code for parts 1 and 2 if you have found them. If you could, please email them to me at masseym@mrqcorp.com

The thing about the Posting Acceptor is that it reposts the content of the original form into the supplied url. This means resending the original HTTP headers, but I reckon that a few are missing :).

Also, I remember that there is a registry entry that you can define (if it does not exist) or modify : AllowAnonymous (should be under LOCAL_MACHINE\Soft\MS\Posting Acceptor or sth like it). Set it to 0 or 1.

I'll look for the code next week.
