Setting A Default Value For The Input Type File?
I'm building a system where a presenter uploads a PPT to my server and
then I show it to all the participants. The problem is that most of the
media in the PPT is usually linked, so I'll need to upload all that
too.
Assuming I can parse the PPT and figure the exact name and
location of each of the media files I need from his hard-disk, is there
any way I can upload all these files automatically, without having to
make the user choose each of these files manually? If that's not
possible, can I atleast show the user a page with a list of input boxes
of type file, pre-populated with the file-path and name of the media
files I need, so that the user can just click 'Submit' without having
to browse and select each of them?
Please say yes. It would be a major usability crisis if my users had to
keep hitting the browse button so many times for each PPT! Especially
when I know exactly what files I need and where they are! I know that
this has a lot to do with browser security, but there's got to be SOME
way out?

I have some ASP pages on my intranet site providing a helpdesk to my users. As part of logging a helpdesk call I am prompting them to link to a file using input type="file".
The file is on a network drive and the problem is when you click on the browse button it defaults to the clients desktop as the starting point of the browsing process. I would like to set a default location to start browsing eg etwork_serverhelpdesk to avoid confusion. Does anyone know of a way to do this ?

Very LAST part of the project:
I want users to pick a file from a pool (=folder) in which they should be 'locked'. I tried using this method:
<input type="file" name="image1">
Once clicked the browse button, it takes the user to a client folder. I want to take the user to the pool on the server which has the uploaded images. Is this possible?

I m using
<input type="file" name="abc">
But when I retrieve the contents sent after browsing the file from the system using
Request.Form("abc")
the retrieved value is null, ie., blank.
Why is that occuring??

I wanted to write a simple page to let me choose a directory and then list
the files in it. The end goal was to make an easy way to copy all the
file names in a directory. I tested with Opera7, Mozilla 1.4 and IE6 -- all
on windows XP Pro
Here is the code. In all three, when I select a file, the complete path
is displayed in the file input box. In Opera, reading the form field gives
me the same full path. But in IE and Moz I get only the filename -- none of
the path information. Code:

All I want to do is set a session variable in my default page which points to a directory on my server where all media for my site is contained. Now, I used a session variable to do this, and fell into a trap. Say I set it up like this:
Session("mediadir")="D:dev<sitename>media". Now, when anyone looks at my site, the mediadir variable is trying to point to their d:dev.... What should I do. I know it is crazy, but I have mental blank.

I have an asp page that produces output from a database. This allows a
simple way for the user to save the data to a text file by going to
File->Save as...
The default save as options always defaults to a particular filename and the
save as type is always html, therefore the user has to manually type a
filename and choose Text File (*.txt) as the type.
I remember I was able to overide ride these options with the following code.
Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=myfilename"
This doesn't seem to be working for me anymore.
Any thoughts?

I'm using a binary stream to send down a file with ASP from the web
server. I've been having trouble with IE and getting it to recognize
my file. I've added the filename as a paramater(?filename=file.jpgw)
to handle IE's mime type mangling, but I'm still having trouble with
IE's default Save As Type being HTML.
When we send down a jpgw
(geo-jpeg) file IE wants to save it as an HTML file. I've got the
correct filename showing in the Filename box, and if I choose the All
Files option from the Save As Type drop down then the file is saved
with the correct extension. I'd like to have the All Files option
choosen by default. I know it's just a couple of clicks but we have
some noivce users that can't seem to get that.

This is weird, I'm pretty familiar with SQL Injection - but we're getting these weird injection that is writing in the default document or home page. What it's doing is putting in script code at the top or bottom of the home page... it looks something like this:

What it's doing is decoding itself into an iframe that links out to popups that will try and download a virus on your machine. I don't get the popup in my machine because i think i have a newer version of IE. But some people have complained that it is installing a virus on their machine.
Also what is crazy is when I replace the file with a good version. In about 30 mins, it automatically overwritten with the infected version. Also I've noticed it on some other websites that I haven't touched.
Has anyone encountered this before? Because I'm stumped as to the cause of it. I don't see the issue on our dev server. It seems to be IIS on a shared host.

I am developing a small website using ASP scripts to format data retrieved
from an Access database. It will run on a Windows 2003 server supporting
FrontPage extensions 2002 hosted by the company 1&1 with only limited server
configuration via a web based control panel.
My query relates to the ASP security model and how it relates to FrontPage
options for setting file access on a database file. If you know of any
online documentation covering the following issues I would be grateful for
links to it.
For various reasons (session logging, synchronising data with a master
database etc) I need to be able to write data to the database file.
Essentially the problem is this: how do I make this possible without giving
public access to the database file? Code:

Is it possiable via a ASP to set (NTFS) permissions on files not on the IIS server?I'm sticking together an ASP to create our new user Home/Profile dir file structure. The script is running in anonymous user mode using an account which has full perm on the file severers.
It's creating the file structure OK, but when it comes to the file permissions, CALCS direct or CACLS in a .CMD doesn't appear to be able to set ther permissions when invoked from the ASP. It does however work for the user when logged on the server's local console.

I moved a site from a dedicated server to a shared hosting environment. On my dedicated I could specify the order of precedence for the default / index files. On the shared default.asp takes precedence of index.html and I can not change that.
Support told me to look into using a web.config file to accommodate my needs. What I need to do is have the index.html file show up first, not the default.asp Is the web.config file the route to take?

I am about to begin a web site for a client who wishes the site be in English, German, and Italian. What I am planning on doing is setting up a script in the global asa file that will detect if the users language is set to either it or de and if so, set a session variable to Italian or German, if not, set the session variable to English. In the actual pages themselves, I will use a select or if statement on each section that will have content. The statement's criteria will be the session language variable. I know if I was doing this site for someone who wanted it in 20 languages this may not be practical, but for 3 languages I think I can pull it off. So what's my question you ask? Is my approach sound and practical? If so, can someone show me the snippet of code that would go in my asa file to set the session variable. OH, and also equally important, when this site is spidered by search engines, will Google.com and Google.it and Google.de pick up their respective pages? The spiders have language settings, no? Don't they request pages from a (my) server just like any other request?

Is there any way to check for .zip or .txt files prior to a file upload starting. The method I have working currently checks immediately before saving but only after the processes has uploaded the file. Can the extension (and file size) be checked as they are selected by browsinf via a form.
I suspect this is not possible but it must be possible to check them before doing anything further.

I need to make a check for file type at client end, ie allow only files that are images to be uploaded and prevent the others. I tried using the HtmlInputFile.Accept Property, but it somehow doesn't seem to work.
moreover, it claims to support only few browsers. Also, javascript in itself, gets very dirty, if i start making validations for every thing. Does ASP.NET support any control which can cause these validations? what is the most elegant way to do this?
