ASP Image Uploading

[Agent_Embryo]

I've been googling and thinking about this for a while now. I have a Content Management System built in ASP for a site. Nothing great, just a webpage to update an access database with info about instruments in stock(it's for a local guitar shop). It does have the option to add an image to the item, but right now one has to upload the image via FTP, then type the right path and filename into a textbox. This is where I want to improve it to make it easier for whoever gets the task of updating the database. What I would like to do is to have a system where you browse for the image you want to add to the item, and then the script uploads it somehow and adds the right path to the database entry.

What I've found on this subject so far is that one would usually get an FTP server component for ASP, but I do not have access to the server itself. Is there a way of controlling the command-line FTP client in Windows using ASP? Do you have any better solutions?

I'm using plain old ASP(3?), not ASP.NET

Dundas Software makes a free upload component:

It works really well and has a lot of documentation as you will see below the download link labled: ProductDocs.zip (773KB)

I have used this a lot of times and it can do all and more of what you would like to do. Also it doesn't use ftp but http so there is no need for any type of ftp server.


By the way don't make it sound so bad (plain old asp) it is way better than .NET anyday IMO.

Yeah, I'm sure it's good, although it doesn't solve the problem. I need something without using server components, since the server isn't mine, it's at a webhost, and I can't install components.

The FTP server is already there however. I just need a way to make the ASP page to act as a frontend for say, the Windows XP CLI FTP client.

'nother bump

Bumping this up again, since the problem isn't solved. Is there a solution without a server component? Like having the script control an ftp application to upload the image?
