You need HTTP POST, not PUT, to submit a form. I think PUT is only for servers with the FrontPage Extensions.

Unless the server has the FP extensions set up on it, you can't upload a file directly thru HTTP. You'll have to use FTP, or Windows sharing, or whatever is set up on the web server.

but i can do SCP(unix command) and upload a file onto our server...
i want to upload file only on my server... cause while SCPing any file it asks me for username and password...
so can u tell me how does this scp work.. i mean it must be using some http request na??
anyhow,
can u tell me where to use PUT method then??
actually downloading gives no problems when i implement winsock in VB...
and if i can do SCP and upload any file on my server then by using winsock in VB how can i upload a file ??
please reply soon..

You'll have to look into your web server documentation to see if it supports the PUT command.
