[RESOLVED] Upload from Client to a Server

[gollnick]

Help

I want to send a file from MY LOCAL MACHINE (a pdf file) to a server running the web application. (to a pre-determined path on that server). Example .. the web application is a shopping cart. Customers can UPLOAD a pdf of their tax exempt status so it is on file at the servicing end. Will the VS control FileUpload accomplish this. I have seen where you can push a document from the SERVER to the client ... but not from the remote webuser client back to the servicing webserver application.

thanks

Hello gollnick,

Yes the FileUpload control will do what you are asking, however, this is not something that you Web Site will be able to do automatically. This will always have to be a user selected file, that they initiate the transfer of. If you are ok with that, then the FileUpload control is exactly what you need.

Let us know if you have any problems.
