Synchronous FTP upload?

[Chipp Walters]

Richard,

IMO, A cleaner (and safer) approach is to upload files to a web server using
AltSAFileUp Library which should be compatible with file posting to
webservers using form based file upload (RFC1867).

Depending on what type of server you wish to upload, you can do the same as
a browser based form such as:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST" name="template"
action="do_something_with_the_file.asp">

which uses the input type:

<input type="file" name="file2upload">


There are a number of ActiveX controls and ASP scripts which operate on the
server-side to process your uploaded file from RunRev. I use Sofware
Artisans FileUp ActiveX control. Then use the AltSAFileUp Library in your RR
app -- which can be found at:

I've used this with success. Check out ItemWizard (RR App) at:
http://www.altuit.com/webs/hemingway/HemTools/ItemWizard.htm

Also, if you're interested in rolling-your-own, you might check out the
altURL Library at the same Downloads.htm page. It's pretty easy to read the
source code, but you'll have to write your own FTP protocols.

Finally, if you don't NEED ftp protocols, there's a nifty file transfer
cross-platform utility app and source code called Sendreiver at:

hope this helps,
