Possible tough problem with image upload from an asp page...

[Chris Parry]

..... I'm installing a news management system that has the facility for
uploading images with news items.

The problem I have is that the images themselves are stored in the same
directory as the asp page containing the submit form for uploading.

I have been trying to set permissions for the directory, and to make it work
I need to enable 'allow scripts to be run 'and allow anonymous upload',
however it appears that the two are incompatible as I can't simultaneously
select both.

See this page:

http://webservices.web.cern.ch/WebServices/Help/Default.aspx?kbid=140030&mode=print

It says: "NB: The FrontPage file upload mechanism only works if the file
containing the form is NOT and '.asp' page. Otherwise FrontPage would assume
that the ASP page will handle the form submission. Therefore use .htm or
..html files for it!"

The script I'm using is fantastic for what I need, but it is pre-configured
and pre-written, therefore there will clearly be a lot of work involved to
move the scripts out of the 'images' directory which is frankly beyond my
capability.

Is there a simpler workround to this problem?

You can not use the FP File Upload component on a ASP page, as indicated, which means FP will not
set the permissions needed, which can be different from what ASP requires.

You web host will need to set permissions on the folder for the ASP script to work correctly in
uploading files.

Thanks again Thomas - I've contacted the host to ask for the correct
permissions to be set on the server - Hopefully they will oblige!

Best Wishes
