File Loading

[Jack]

Hi,

I'm wanting to email a file from a fixed location (c:\temp\file.doc).
This sounds easy but I'm having a few problems! I have no problem when
using a HtmlInputFile control but I'm wanting to just pick up the file
programmically without user intervention.

Thanks,
Jack

Take a look at the System.IO classes

How does your mail component expect the file to be passed? As a File
Stream? Or just a filename location?

Cant

let me rephrase. If the file is on the CLIENT PC, you cant

If the file is on the client PC, you CAN do it but you'll need an ActiveX
control or some other kind of thick client, since HTML/script doesn't have
permission to the client's file system.

If the file is on the server then you'll need to use the basic file
functionality in the System.IO namespace.
