Upload File w/o Posting Acceptor

[DrinkN1]

In the past, I have written pages to upload using ASP along side of the Posting Acceptor service installed on IIS 5.0.

However, I am working with a provider that is running Apache with Chili!Soft to allow for ASP functionality, so the Posting Acceptor is not installed.

Is there a way I can create a web interface to allow a user to upload a file in this environment? The provider also allows PHP, Perl, and some others, if that would work better.

Thanks!

Chris,

My first inclintion is that this will not work. I can't believe I didn't mention this, I'm usually better than that...But, it's running Apache on a Unix system. So, I am not sure if I have access to any of the Windows library's that ASP takes advantage of.

I will certainly give it a try.

Thanks!

If your working in a UNIX environment it would probably be easier to do this in PHP or another language that will have components and such built for the environment.
I'm not entirely sure how ChiliSoft works, but it might be possible to use whine and the install the upload components, as whine allows you to use window programs and function calls (usually) on a nix system.

Thanks to everyone who responded.

I found a very nice script called "eUpload" by (and I hope I spell this right) Frederic Tyndiuk, that is written in PERL. It was extremely flexible, including having routines for allowing passworded logins.

I highly recommend it to anyone else who is having the problem.
