1) something like:
use CGI:
my $q = new CGI;
my $bytesread = 0;
my $buffer = '';
open( FID, '>', "/path/to/file" ) or die "cannot open file";
while (my $more=read( $q->param{'file'}, $buffer, 8192 )) { $bytesread+=$more; print FID $buffer; }
use CGI:
my $q = new CGI;
my $bytesread = 0;
my $buffer = '';
open( FID, '>', "/path/to/file" ) or die "cannot open file";
while (my $more=read( $q->param{'file'}, $buffer, 8192 )) { $bytesread+=$more; print FID $buffer; }

i tried
#!c:/perl/bin/Perl.exe
use CGI;
print "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n\n";
$|=1;
my $q = new CGI;
my $bytesread = 0;
my $buffer = '';
$file = $q->param('upload_file');
print "$file";
open( FID, "> $file" ) or die "cannot open file";
while (my $more=read( $file, $buffer, 8192 ))
{
$bytesread+=$more;
print FID $buffer;
}
it creates file c:\\test.doc on server but it is not copying the contents of test.doc form clients machine to server.
the file is empty on server may be because its not going in whike loop

> open( FID, "> $file" )
dooh, that's dangereous, don't use it this way, hardcode the filename in your CGI.
> . is not copying the contents ..
you probably used the wrong variable for reading

use CGI;
print "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n\n";
$|=1;
my $q = new CGI;
my $bytesread = 0;
my $buffer = '';
$file = "c:\\test.doc";
print "$file";
open( FID, "> $file" ) or die "cannot open file";
while (my $more=read( $file, $buffer, 8192 ))
{
$bytesread+=$more;
print FID $buffer;
}
still it is not reeading the file c:\test.doc from client....

i also tried
while (my $more=read( $q->param('upload_file'), $buffer, 8192 ))
not working
while (my $more=read( $q->param('upload_file'), $buffer, 8192 ))
not working
ASKER
i lso tried
open( FID, "> $file" ) or die "cannot open file";
binmode (FID);
didn't work
is the header issue which cannot read local file on client's machine
open( FID, "> $file" ) or die "cannot open file";
