'File Upload' Form Field -hosted
When I include a "File Upload" field on a webpage, it prompts me for the FTP username and password on submit. I would like people to be able to submit files without giving them ftp access. Is this possible?
ASKER
<form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" onsubmit="return FrontPage_Form1_Validator(
<!--webbot bot="FileUpload" s-email-format="TEXT/PRE" s-email-address="xxx@xxx" b-email-label-fields="TRUE
<!--webbot bot="FileUpload" s-email-format="TEXT/PRE" s-email-address="xxx@xxx" b-email-label-fields="TRUE

and then lower down:
<p>Upload Resume <input type="file" name="F1" size="20"></p>
I assume you're running the 2002 server extensions on your site?
ASKER
yes. The form submits fine when I use textboxes and drop-downs... When I try to use a "file upload" field, the submit button produces a ftp login, presumably because i am trying to transmit a file.

My fault - I spend so much time in both areas I didn't even notice this was HTML. Adam - do you mind if we move this to the FP TA for you?
ASKER
I don't mind at all

Well some updates now... I followed some instructions I found and created a new directory. I'm pretty sure I gave all the correct privelidges, and now the error I am getting is "Form validation error. Cannot open file Filename.xxx for writing", so I logged into the admin control panel for our website and gave everyone read/write/delete access for this particular directory that the files should be uploading to. Still no luck...

Got it fixed. It was a combination of things.. I'll explain later when I get home, got a train to catch.

Here's what happened. For some reason, the "browsers" in my frontpage extensions weren't given the "browse" rule. On top of that although I had given the browsers Read/Write/Delete access in my webhoster's admin panel, there was a hidden section in "Applications Settings" that had "browsing" disabled.
Everything works great now, and I will increase and split the points.
I'm not sure I deserve any points here. I don't think I contributed anything towards a solution.

Someone's up early...
I concur - I think Corey was on the right track here - anyone mind if I remove the points from Cd& and myself?

Plus if Cd& gets too mainy points in this TA, they'll think he's gone over to the dark side :-)
LOL.. Well he did help some - he did move it to the FP TA. :)

Actually Sean moved it. I just made the suggestion. Points to Corey works for me. My cave has too many points cluttering it up already. ;^)

yes, COBOLdinosaur(which btw, is an oxymoron) helped me get it into the right thread, and sean emailed somone to come take a look. I was misinformed and underinformed so I think it would have been hard to troubleshoot for anyone. Take the #$%! points, will ya?
See, at least someone agrees with me! LOL
