I've done this successfully both with PHP and VB/ASP. I think PHP is the easiest, but there are several things that could go wrong. There is usually a 2MB limit to the file size and the safe mode setting also affects the outcome. On the HTML side, you must include ENCTYPE=multipart/form-data in your <form> tag. Once the file is uploaded (you can verify through phpinfo() command) you have to move it someplace. This can be tricky depending on how your server is set up. As a security, some servers do not allow scripts to save files. One solution is to have your script open an ftp socket and put the file in the right place. This way, the script has the ftp password which should be kept secret from the user. >Hello, > >I have a VB program which can download files from a web-site.
