Hi Vidul, No, I did not use FTP - at least not explicitly. I don't know what protocol web2py uses behind the scenes to upload files.
I was following the instructions from the FAQ on web2py.com to turn an HTML page into a blog. I used the feature from the "Static files" section of the design page (at "http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/default/ design/MyBlog") to upload a file. The source file was a jpeg image from my C: drive and web2py was running from a USB memory stick mounted as my E: drive. I've tried several different image files, both .jpg and .gif. Each one has been corrupted, so it looks like there is either a bug in web2py's code for uploading binary files OR I've made some unintentional error that I have yet to fathom. It seems like such a basic part of web2py, that either I've setup something wrong, or many others would have seen this problem. I'd really like this to work, because web2py is just too cool for words. Regards, Doug C.
