FileUp Path Property

Path Property

Object:	SoftArtisans.FileUp
Syntax:	Path
Type:	String
Read/Write:	Read/Write
Description:	This property defines the default directory for storing files. It also defines the location of the cache files before a final save is executed. SA-FileUp must be able to write into this directory. For this property to have affect, it must be set before any form elements are referenced. Once the first form element is referenced, the entire HTTP Post stream must be read and the uploaded files included in the stream must be cached. If no value is set, SA-FileUp uses the system-defined Temporary Path (which is returned by the WIN32 GetTempPath() routine). Typically, this is "C:\TEMP" or "C:\WINNT". Use Control Panel, System to set PATH to a global variable. Even if you specify a default path, it is still possible to save the file to a different location. When using the SaveAs method, specify a new complete path and filename. In this scenario, the upload is cached in the default path. When the SaveAs method is executed, the file is moved from the default path to the new destination. This works even if the new destination is on a different disk or on a network share.

Example:

<%
Set upl = Server.CreateObject("SoftArtisans.FileUp")
'---
'--- Set the default path to store uploaded files.
'--- This should be set immediately after creating an instance.
'---
upl.Path = "C:\Temp"
'---
'--- Determine if the file upload is empty. Since this is the
'--- first reference to data on the form, this will cause the 
'--- entire HTTP Post stream to be read, parsed, and processed.
if upl.IsEmpty Then %>
