How can I include a file upload option in a form without have the person
submitting the form supply a username and password?

I have the form working the way I want, until I inserted a "File Upload"
option, now once the form is submitted, they are asked for a username and
password. Is this necessary? I just want them to submit the file of their
choice (image files bmp, jpg, ....etc.).
 
Do not set the file upload folder to the _private folder if you have done so. If you didn't then you
need to contact your host.

The folder is not _private. Even though I have a confirmation page
specified, the page that tries to come up has the same page name in
"/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/" folder. Why does this happen ONLY when I have a
:File Upload" option? If I remove it everything works fine.
 
What folder did you specify for the uploading of files, and has "write" permissions been added to
the folder? The permissions may need to be set by the web host, if they allow you to used this
component.

It the host allows the use of this component, then by default FP would assign the permissions needed
on the folder you have named, during publishing.

You really need to check with your web host.
