.NET Upload with Macintosh???

[Bryan Fleming]

Hello,

I wrote a page that uploads a file VIA http with no problems at all.
My clients are using Macs and wouldn't you know it, the site won't
upload for them. Anyone seen a work-around for this????
Here's a sample of the code:
lstrFileName = FileUploader.PostedFile.FileName

If lstrFileName <> "" Then

lintBackSlashes = lstrFileName.LastIndexOf("\")

lstrFileName = lstrFileName.Substring(lintBackSlashes)

lstrUploadFolder = Server.MapPath("uploads") & "\" &
Session("userID")

FileUploader.PostedFile.SaveAs(lstrUploadFolder &
lstrFileName)

Could it be that the mac file does not have any \ slashes?

Could be. I believe OSX uses colons to separate directories. (I *think* it's
colons, someone else will have to confirm though)

you are correct, unix uses forward slashes.

Try using the methods of System.IO.Path to get your file names and paths.
