Q1. I want to let my users specify the destination
directory to which the files will be uploaded. I included <INPUT
TYPE="TEXT" NAME="PATH"> in the form, and my upload script looks
like this: <%
n = Upload.Save(Upload.Form("Path")) %>.
However this does not seem to work.
A. You cannot use the Form collection
before calling Save because it is not yet populated. The right way
to do it is to upload the files to a temporary directory and then copy
or move them to the specified destination directory as follows:
<%
A: No. Early versions of the ASP's Request
object did not provide the BinaryRead
or TotalBytes methods which the
component heavily relies on. The best way to test whether your version
of ASP allows uploading is to execute a simple script like <%
n = Request.TotalBytes %> and see if the method is recognized by
your ASP module.
A: You must install the Microsoft Option Pack 4.
A: One possible reason is that your version of ASP is old. See Q2
and Q3. Another possible reason is that you forgot to include the
METHOD=POST
attribute in your form.
A. In most cases it means that your upload script
calls the Request object prior to calling Upload.Save. You must never use Request.Form in your upload script, use Upload.Form instead.
This error may also mean that your version of ASP is old and does not
support the Request.BinaryRead method. See Q2 and Q3.
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01ad'
A. It is a permission problem. Make sure Everyone has Full Control over AspUpload.dll.
A. Set the Server.ScriptTimeout property
to some large number such as 200 (in minutes) before invoking your upload script.
A. Yes. Unlike Request.Form, the Upload.Form collection will store each
selected string as an individual item, but under the same name. You can
access all selected strings as follows:
<%
Persits.Upload.1 error '800a0005'
A. This is an NTFS permission problem. The current user (such as IUSR_xxx)
must have Full Control over the upload directory to be able to create files
in it. You can instantly fix this problem by giving Everyone Full Control
over the upload directory, then tighten security as appropriate.
Persits.Upload.1 error '800a001e'
A. Windows NT/IIS4: Most probably, your virtual directory has the "Run in separate memory
space" option checked. This causes Windows NT to disallow calling LogonUser
unless the user has the privilege "Act as Part of Operating System". You
have two options: disable "Run in separate memory space" for this virtual
directory, or grant this privilege to all the users of your application
such as IUSR_xxx (go to User Manager, select Policies/User Rights, check
"Show Advanced User Rights", select "Act as Part of Operating System",
add desired users). We recommend that you reboot after that.
Windows 2000/IIS5: Run Internet Services Manager.
Right-click your virtual directory and select "Properties".
On the "Virtual Directory" tab, set the "Application Protection" option to Low. If the option is disabled, click on the "Create" button first.
A. No, and there is a good reason for that. If setting a default value
for <INPUT TYPE=FILE> were allowed, one could easily write an HTML page
that would steal files from a user's machine without his/her knowledge
or permission. Although pure HTML won't help you, there is still a way
to specify a file for uploading programmatically: use a client-side upload
agent such as the XUpload ActiveX control available from www.aspupload.com.
Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 8002801d'
A. This error usually occurs because of tight security settings in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
section of the registry. To fix the error, run regedt32
and select the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{B4E1B2DE-151B-11D2-926A-006008123235}.
From the Security menu, select Permissions. Add Everyone to the permission
list and assign Full Control to the Everyone account. Make sure the setting
propagates to the sub-keys as well.
A. Use the following download script (requires AspUpload 2.1): <%
n = Upload.Save
"c:\upload"
For Each
File in Upload.Files
File.Copy
Upload.Form("Path") & "\" & File.ExtractFileName
Next
%>
Q2: Will AspUpload work with any version
of ASP?
Q3: Where can I get the latest version
of ASP?
Q4: Whenever I try to upload a file I am getting the error Persits.Upload.1
error '800a0003', Nothing has been posted. Why?
Q5: I am getting the error Persits.Upload.1
error '800a0001', Request.BinaryRead Failed. What does it mean?
Q6: Why am I getting the following error:
ActiveX component can't create object
Q7: When uploading large files, my script times out. What can I
do to prevent it?
Q8: I am using the control <SELECT
NAME="Choice" MULTIPLE> in my upload form. I noticed that Upload.Form("Choice"),
unlike Request.Form("Choice"), only returns one of the selected string.
Is it possible to access all selected strings in this control?
For Each
Item in Upload.Form
If Item.Name = "Choice" Then Response.Write Item.Value & "<BR>"
Next
%>
Q9. When I attempt to upload a file I always get the following error.
Why?
Access is denied.
Q10. I want to use the LogonUser method to impersonate an admin
account in order to be able to save files on a remote machine. However,
I always get the error
A required privilege is not held by the client.
Q11. I am trying to specify a default value for an <INPUT TYPE=FILE>
item on my form, but the browser seems to ignore the VALUE attribute of
this tag. Client-side JavaScript does not help either. Is there a way I
can programmatically specify a file for uploading?
Q12. Why is the line Set Upload = Server.CreateObject("Persits.Upload") generating the error
Server.CreateObject Failed
Library not registered.
Q13. I am using the file download feature of AspUpload (the SendBinary
method). However, whenever I try to download a text or MS Word file, it opens in
the browser rather than prompting me to save it on disk. How can I force a
"Save As" dialog?
Set Upload = Server.CreateObject("Persits.Upload.1")
Upload.SendBinary Request("File"), True, "application/octet-stream", True
%>
