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.aspx">
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.

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

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?

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.
