RE: Witango-Talk: Upload Revisited after a couple of years
Uploading files via website is a trivial program to write in VB.Net creating an ASPX page, if you are running an IIS server with the dot net framework loaded. There is an example of it on the MS website. I needed it for a client that does not have Tango, and really couldn't justify buying Tango for this one application. I have written it and would be willing to sell it for $25 if anyone wants it. I would need to package it up and write some documentation. Contact me off the list if you want it.

Re: Witango-Talk: Upload Revisited after a couple of years
Any you have worked with that would work on a Win2k server? Would they allow for a tranfer via a website? There are some good customizable FTP applets out there that would allow you to handle the uploading of the files through a browser but without using HTTP.

Re: Witango-Talk: Upload Revisited after a couple of years
Ever the contrarian, here's a couple of reasons for http/app server over ftp: 1. firewalls. Most enterprises only allow port 80, so if the client is behind a firewall, you need HTTP. 2. with http/https you get to control whether the upload is secure. You could force your clients to use sftp, but then you've got to support them. 3. using app server means you can keep the upload out of the file system until you've checked it, and the upload is conducted under your app server's userid, so the client does not need to be a system user (only an application user). I find anonymous uploads to be scary, even into /tmp. 4. Finally, I don't like to let anyone upload to my file system, so I put any file from a client into the database so I don't have to worry about the upload getting executed.

Re: Witango-Talk: Upload Revisited after a couple of years
There are some good customizable FTP applets out there that would allow you to handle the uploading of the files through a browser but without using HTTP. I never liked using Witango or any App server for that matter to handle the uploading of a file, especially a large one. I use the HTTP uploading capabilities for "light" file upload duties, and leave the rest up to FTP. /John [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This brings up another question I have on file uploads.

RE: Witango-Talk: Upload Revisited after a couple of years
Does this take care of the CPU peg? I am really rusty on ASP but will work with it if I have to. In fact, I worked out a way to pass variables via hidden post args to ASP which works well when integrating the two languages. Dude, A while back I came up with an ASP file upload because of problems I encountered with Witango pegging the CPU. It integrates very well with Witango.
