I am trying to write a sort of uploading script and so far it works and I am able to select a file and have it copy to a user specified directory. However, if the specified directory does not exist, I want it to either create the directory and then copy the file to that directory, or ideally, ask the user if he/she wishes to create the new directory and then copy the file to that directory.<br>If you can help please let me know.<br><br>thanx!

Whoa! You're planning to let people specify a directory on your system and then upload a file??? Are you nuts? I hope you don't plan on keeping control of your system or any information which is on it.<br><br>Sincerely, <br><br>Tom Anderson<br>CEO, Order amid Chaos, Inc.<br><A HREF=" TARGET="_new">
DarkJedi,<br><br>Are you using Net::Ftp to do the transfers? The mkdir function in there will do what you need.<br><br>Oh - and I agree with Tom in general by the way - but I assume that you're writing this for an internal network. <p>Mike<br><a href=mailto:michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com>michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com</a><br><a href= Cargill's Corporate Web Site</a><br>

If you use mkdir, be sure to set the umask to 0 before specifying the permissions. Or, chmod afterwards. <p> Sincerely,<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= Anderson</a><br>CEO, Order amid Chaos, Inc.<br>
