Hi, All,
What I'm looking to do is have the user specify a path and file name using <input type=file> so they can take advantage of a browse button to select the location of their file. Once the file is specified and the user clicks on the submit button I want the server to download the specified file, rename it and store it in a pre-determined directory.
I took a look at EZSiteUpload which is a server-side ActiveX dll, but it is limited in its functionality and not suitable for our purposes.
Basically my question is as follows:
I'm used to doing my own study and experimentation, so I'm not asking for a complete solution (although I'll not turn it down :-) What I want is to be pointed in the right direction so I can begin to study and learn how to do this on my own. Can you turn me on to some good sources where I can read and experiment and learn how to do this? I have a rudimentary knowledge of Webclasses, but would like to know more about building server-side Active X Dll's that can be called by the client's browsers. I'd also appreciate any information addressing the issue above.
Just looking to be pointed in the right direction and I'll be grateful for anything you'd be willing to share.
Thanks,
davepan
