Uploading file

[Guest]

Hi,
I have a website where I would like to create a form to be used by
authorised users to submit files into the server. The file submitted should
write over the existing file with the same name.

Can I do these using Forms in FP or do I need to use any script. Please
help...

You would need to use a server-side scripting solution, as the FP Upload component will not
overwrite files on the destination.

How do I upload such a file and make sure that it overwrites previous files
with the same name?

It depends on what OS your site is hosted on, and what upload application the host has installed or
is willing to install for your use, most will involve some custom server-side scripting.

All of my sites and client projects are hosted on Windows IIS servers and the host provide ASP
Upload. I am able to write custom ASP VBScript where I can control file size and type, allow files
to be overwritten or assigned a new name of my choice, etc., as well as allowing the person
uploading, to be able to delete individual files or a group of files. With images, I can also
control the dimensions, and image quality. None of this can be accomplished with FP File Upload
Component.

Ask your host what they recommend.
