Field on Form to upload files

[Mayla]

I need to create a way that a user can upload a file from his/her local
computer to my public web site, which I created using FP 2003. Is there
a way to do this using FP 2003 only (as opposed to creating ASP code by
hand)?

The server on which my site is hosted is running FP extensions.

I suppose I could create a Form, include a text Field with a Browse
button next to it, and a Submit button under it. But I don't want users
to submit text, I want them to submit a file. And how do I program the
Field or the Form to know where to upload the file to?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Mayla,

Under Insert | Form | Upload File

The FP2002 server extensions supports the "file upload" field. FP2003 uses
the 2002 FPSE

Insert > form > field > File upload.

Your host has to support the upload feature of the server extensions -
otherwise they might offer an alternative script which means you don't have
to code it by hand.

The File Upload field has options such as specifying the folder to upload
to.

Double click the field to access those options.

Plus it is only available (if host supported) under Windows Servers
