I have an html form that accepts a file for uploading, but I wanted to
create a program to automate the upload procedure.
I beileive you use the Webresponse class, but I was not sure how to use this
class to post a file to a specified website. In some documentation I have,
it also specifies the Request Header must be: Content-type:
application/octet-stream
here is the web site html code:
<form action=post method=post enctype=multipa rt/form-data> File to
post<input name="FileData" type="file" size="32"><inpu t type=submit
value="Post file to mailbox"></form>
thanks for your help

Shawn,
If you don't have to set cookies or anything of that nature, then you
could probably use the WebClient class to handle this. It will automate the
uploading of files to a server.
Hope this helps.

I thought the WebClient was used for uploading files to the webserver, such
as updating web pages, etc. But I need to pass the file to a server as a
post request, not just to put a file on a server. can the Webclient do this
as well?

Shawn,
Yes, it will. Check out the UploadFile method on the WebClient class.

The UploadFile method requires 2 parameters, the first being the location of
the file location you are trying to upload. Do i just specify the webpage
file that the form posts to?
for instance, if I have a form on a server in form.html:
<form action="post.as px">
then do I specify the uri like this: http://www.company.com/post.aspx
I had just assumed that the first parameter was for uploading a file you
want to store on a server, for instance,
If I had edited index.html and wanted to upload the page to www.company.com/index.html then I would use the webclient.
Am I wrong on this? the reason I just do not test is because it is a third
party that is hosting the site, and I have no facility for testing, unless a
create some web app myself that accepts files. Thanks for your help so far
Nicholas.

Hi
I was wondering if it's possible to use the WebRequest class to access a file on windows shared folder with authentication? If yes, what would the syntax be? I've tried to look this up in the references available but to no avail
Also, is it safer (better practise) in an LAN environment to use HTTP requests to access shared files (via ASP.NET) rather than UNC file shares
TIA
