that depends but where is the file server?

if not you may need user actions on the client

Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for answering :)
On one side I have a web server that stores files and hosts the SQL database.
On the other a web server (Sharepoint site) to which I want to send files
(.doc, .xls, ...).
Those two servers are on the same enterprise network. But the Sharepoint
site can only be accessed via https.
How can I do ?
This action can be done manually using "drag and drop" into a mapped web
folder (network location in Windows Explorer). So I imagined it could be done
automatically using a script.

why not just use
Set fso = CreateObject("S cripting.FileSy stemObject")

and use the \\networkaddres s ?
the above would be much easer and is easy to find help on hw to use it

if you want some code that will upload

use this form in page1.asp

this code in page2.asp

I do not have the network path. There is probably not shares on it nether.
The only way for me to access this resource seems to be the URL.

I'm using ASPSmartUpload to upload my documentation on the file server.

the code I posted handles large, I find most components don't.

I can see your problem clearer now,

I have a suggestion, not sure how practical it is

you could get a script to select the files one by one using
Scripting.FileS ystemObject

you could then use

Set objExplorer = WScript.CreateO bject ("InternetExplo rer.Application ")

and sent them by form to a upload page one by one. you could fire the page
via scheduled tasks

you can run this page invisibly

This is a good start. I'll try this.

Thanks
