Uploading file to a different web platform using ASP.NET/VB.NET and php

Hi, I've been trying to upload file using webclient.uploa dfile method
from my IIS webserver to an Apache webserver without any success. On
the Apache server (server that receives the incoming file) I have a
simple php script, getFile.php to receive the file. The script look
like this:

<?php
$uploadDir = '/var/www/Incoming/';
$uploadFile = $uploadDir . $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
print "<pre>";
if (move_uploaded_ file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadFile))
{
print "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded. ";
print "Here's some more debugging info:\n";
print_r($_FILES );
}
else
{
print "Error receiving file:\n";
print_r($_FILES );
}
print "</pre>";
?>

I know this script work perfectly if I use a standard html with <input
type="file"> method. However, file needs to be sent from an
asp.net page instead of html. People on the newsgroup have been
suggesting me to use webclient.uploa dfile method, however, I just could
not get it to work.

Perhaps there is something wrong with my php script or maybe there
something else needs to be done to the webclient. If anybody has came
across with the similar situation, can you show me how to do it both on
the ASP.NET side and php side (or perl)
Thanks
Brian

Huh? Are you saying that the web page in which the form that the user will
interact with is generated on an ASP.NET server? And that the
form's action="" points to a PHP script on an Apache server?

Ultimately, my understanding is that the ASP.NET page sent to the browser
is just plain 'ol HTML. So why can't you just get the ASP page to generate
the appropriate HTML?

Do this: Compare the final versions of each page -- the HTML one that
works and the ASP.NET one that doesn't. If there are any differences,
then there is your problem.

later...

The user interact with an ASP.NET form and on that form it has many
other asp.net webcontrols. The action does not point to a php script
on an Apache server.
After user click the "Upload" button, the request is sent back to the
IIS server and then post the file from user's machine to an Apache
server.

Why? Why not just send the request directly to the Apache server?

Hi all, I've come across a problem that has me stumped, and I thought I'd send a message to the gurus to see if this makes sense to anyone else. =) Basically, I'm trying to upload a series of files via FTP. I'm using ftplib to do it, and for each file I'm using transfercmd("STOR " + myfile) to get the socket, then uploading 4096 bytes at a time and providing status updates via a GUI interface. Finally, I close the socket, set it to...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
