Hi All,

I am trying to upload an image using an admin area on my site.

I use CuteFTP to upload all my files but the in the admin area this is not possible, as it will be quite a few people using it.

I would like to browse to an image folder, select an image, then press the submit button and it uploads it to the images folder on the server.

I have used the following code to select the file,

Response.Write("<input type=FILE size=60 name=FileUpload><br><br>")
Response.Write("<input type=submit name=submit value=""Upload"">")

I am struggling to get the code so that when the submit button is clicked it upoads the image.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Ian,

You'll have to make sure you specify
content-type="multipart/form-data"

on the form element. You'll then be able to use the Request.Files object to work with the files.

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Can you explain, "the Request.Files object to work with the files."

I am not sure what the code would be for this, or where it would go.

Thanks

Ian

Sorry about that, it was late when I responded and my mind was on .NET. There is no Request.Files object in ASP, you have to parse the bytes. There's a pretty good sample located at the following link:
Pure ASP File Upload

If your site is on a hosting server, you may not know the exact directory in which to store the file, so you can use Server.MapPath and Scripting.FileSystemObject to get it where you want it. The following might help on that:
Uploading Files to the Server Hard Disk using plain ASP

Also, in ASP pages, you can mix regular HTML with VBScript, rather than having to do a Response.Write on the HTML elements. For example:

Thanks very much.

I will give it a go

You're welcome, let me know if that does it.
