Uploading a file from an online form?

Can anyone tell me how to allow file uploads in an online form? Specifically, I want potential employees to be able to upload their resumes (usually Word documents).

Thanks!

Are you doing it in classic ASP or .NET?

I am hosting with hostmysite, and their "features" page shows they have ASP.NET with ASPUpload installed. I'm guessing it's fairly easy, but I'm an ASP newbie. Confused

Here's a link that will help explain things about ASPupload:

Test it out and let us know if you have any problems!

On the other hand, if you would like to upload via ASP.NET, it's very simple and I use it all the time. Try this on for size Wink

Code:

Sub Upload_Click(ByVal Source As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
If Not (uploadedFile.PostedFile Is Nothing) Then
Try
Dim savePath As String = Server.MapPath("/Remote_Path/")
Dim postedFile = uploadedFile.PostedFile
Dim filename As String = Path.GetFileName(postedFile.FileName)
Dim ext as string = filename.Substring(filename.LastIndexOf("."))
If ext=".doc" Then
postedFile.SaveAs(savepath & filename)
message.Text = filename & " - UPLOADED SUCCESSFULLY!"
Else
message.Text = "Please only upload .doc files!"
End If
Catch exc As Exception
message.Text = "< kicks the server >"
End Try
End If
End Sub

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" runat="server">
<font size="4"><b>Upload Utility...</b></font><br>
<hr>
<br>
<input id="uploadedFile" type="file" runat="server" accept="image/jpeg" size="40">
<input type="button" id="upload" value="Upload" OnServerClick="Upload_Click" runat="server" accept="image/jpeg">
<p><asp:Label id="message" runat="server"/></p>
</form>

Thanks for this. The only change I made to get this working (beginner that I am) is this:

Code:

Dim filename As String = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(postedFile.FileName)

Unfortunately there is precious little that can be done if you're at a different host - you have to rely upon their support for some things.

Which is why I stongly suggest using a host with excellent support... Wink
