File Loading

[Jack]

Hi,

I'm wanting to email a file from a fixed location (c:\temp\file.doc).
This sounds easy but I'm having a few problems! I have no problem when
using a HtmlInputFile control but I'm wanting to just pick up the file
programmically without user intervention.

Thanks,
Jack

Take a look at the System.IO classes

How does your mail component expect the file to be passed? As a File
Stream? Or just a filename location?

If the file is on the client PC, you CAN do it but you'll need an ActiveX
control or some other kind of thick client, since HTML/script doesn't have
permission to the client's file system.

If the file is on the server then you'll need to use the basic file
functionality in the System.IO namespace.
