Http file upload

Hi

I have written a program to upload files using ftp/http. So far, so good, I
have coded my solution. Now I need to test it.

I have access to an ftp site and the ftp upload works OK. I now need to test
the http upload.

I have Windows Vista x64 installed with IIS 7.0. How do I configure IIS to
accept file uploads, and how what URL should I use to send the files? How do
I configure secure uploads?

I am a complete and utter newbie with IIS, so be kind!

Thanks in advance

you need to write an http application that accepts file uploads. most
use some variant of a form post, but there are other options.

there is also webdav, which is the http version of ftp, its often called
web folders.
you will need to pick a webdav client library.

If you are just "starting out", the easiest way to handle HTTP file uploads
is simply to have an ASPX page with a FileUpload Control on it. For security,
you can use simple forms authentication so that the user must be logged in
before they can get to the upload page.
Hope that helps,
Peter

Curious: what did you use for the FTP uploads? Was it a third party
control or something like that?
