[thelist] ASP file upload problems

[Amy Johnson]

Hi.  I am trying to set up a web site where the client can log in and upload web images to the server.  I am using the
ASPSimpleUpload component.  My problem is security.  First we tried putting the writeable directory in an area outside the web
space.  This worked great for uploading and deleting the files.  BUT the web page could not access the images.  The system admin
(NT) says that he can't make the directory universally readable or it would also be writeable through the web.

So now we're trying putting the directory in the web space but password protected.  This causes the upload component to fail with
the following message.

*************************************************
Error:
There was an error writing the uploaded file to the disk. Please check the permissions on the SERVER and make sure the directory has
write permission for the group "Everyone"
*************************************************

I was hoping a window would popup asking me for the password - no such luck.  How can I  incorporate the username and password into
the ASP code?  Or is there another solutions?  The code follows.  Thanks for any help!!!!!!

==============================================
  Set upl = Server.CreateObject("ASPSimpleUpload.Upload")
  fname = upl.ExtractFileName(upl.Form("file1"))

  If Len(upl.Form("file1")) > 0 Then
    SaveFileName = relimglocation & upl.ExtractFileName(upl.Form("file1"))

'   SaveFile takes two paramaters
'     Param1 = Field name from the form
'     Param2 = Location and filename to save the file to

    If upl.SaveToWeb("file1", SaveFileName) Then

      Response.Write fname & " was successfully uploaded to server." %><br><%
    Else
      Response.Write("There was an error uploading the file to server.")
    End If
  End If
