The files which are getting uploaded should have permission of read, write and delete for the user who has started the server on which your fileupload jsp or servlet is deployed. -----Original Message----- From: Seema Kumar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 19, 2002 12:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: File Permissions in Servlet Hi What is the default permission in which the new file is being uploaded and stored in the server ? Is it read-only be default ? Also are u using MultiPartRequest to upload the file, cos I think that does overwrite the older file automatically without specifying anything explicitly.
