FILE UPLOADING IN ASP.NET or ASP for that matter

psb
WHO HAS THE BEST COMPONENT FOR FILE UPLOAD? HELP!? has anyone achieved
100% success with HTTP uploading with Mac clients??? I thought the whole
<input type="file" .../> was a w3c standard that goes back 10 years!!

I have been doing web development with either asp or asp.net since 1998. I
have implemented almost every methodology for file uploading -> com+, asp
w/ado.stream, asp.net, asp.net private assemblies. In my past experienced,
the people uploading images have been administrators managing inventory or
content on a CMS, so they were forced to use IE5+.

I started working for a printing company back in 2002. Printing companies
NEED ftp access for their clients, especially MAC clients. The printing
industry is fueled by MAC. For 1.5 years, I have been on so many support
calls trying to get MAC users to connect to our ftp site that my head has
spun off. My boss and I were sick of all, so he wanted us to make it as
simple as possible. We bought an expensive FileUpload Control (asp.net),
which was working perfectly until this past friday when a Mac user trying to
upload a 50 meg file from his home DSL line failed at 75%.

any response is greatly appreciated!

I don't have experience with Mac browsers, but I did find FileUp to be a
good product for Windows. A quick way to check for Mac compatibility would
be to go to this page on a Mac and try an upload:

Hi There, I have a PHP script that sends an email with attachment and works great when provided the path to the file to send. However this file needs to be on the same server as the script. I want to develop a webpage where people can send attachments that are stored on their local PC.

Has anyone used pure python to upload files to a webdav server over SSL? I have no control over the server.

The server requires authentication over SSL which I can do with urllib2 like this:

I am trying to code a file uploader (for forum/email attachments) from the client computer to a remote web server via the PUT method (since POST is not allowed ). However, the upload works ONLY when the file is inside a shared folder on my computer. If I try to upload from any other folder it does not work. Why is this? Reason being that whenever I upload files on other forums or websites I know I don't need to have my folder shared...

I've been trying to execute a javascript function just before submit on a form that contains an <input type="file"> input field and it isn't working.

I have an upload file input as: <input id="MyFile" style="width:300px" type="File" runat="Server"> This works fine, but I find that if my page doesn't pass validation during postback, the page comes back with all the data intact, except for the upload object. The text box for "MyFile" (my example) is always cleared. Why is that and is there a way to stop that from happening? Thanks,

Hi. I've built a page using standard ASP.NET 2.0 features and when I upload a large file (>20MB) to our intranet server, I get a paltry 100KB/s on our 100Mb/s LAN. Simply copying the file, I get around 7MB/s. I'm using a FileUpload control on an .aspx page, and then I'm writing the MyFileUpload.PostedFile.InputStream off to a database. What can I do to speed up this uploading? Thanks in advance

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
