The iFUN.com web hosting company along with many other hosting companies provides the SoftArtisan FileUpload component. This would be used to permit viewers to upload files to specific directories on your web site.

You must first have iFUN.com (or your other hosting company) set security for the directory that will receive these uploaded files. Request that this directory grant full permissions for the IIS anonymous user.

Your client side html must enclude a form similar to that below:

<form name=theform action="Upload.asp" method="post"
         enctype="multipart/form-data">
<!-- the enctype="multipart/form-data" is necessary -->
<input type="file" name="file1" size="50">
<input type="file" name="file2" size="50">
...  <!-- as many as you want and is reasonable -->
</form>

Dim safileup
Set safileup = Server.CreateObject("SoftArtisans.FileUp")

safileup.Form("file1").Path = thePath 
     'where thePath has been defined, 
         'perhaps d:\inetpub\iadventist\uploadDirectory\
safileup.Form("file1").Save
Response.write "1st file uploaded: " 
                & safileup.Form("file1").TotalBytes
Response.write " bytes<br>"

safileup.Form("file2").Path = thePath
safileup.Form("file2").Save
Response.write "2nd file uploaded: " 
                & safileup.Form("file2").TotalBytes
Response.write " bytes<br>"

r = safileup.Form("file1").ContentType
if r = "image/gif" then
        safileup.Form("file1").Path = thePath
        safileup.Form("file1").Save
        Response.write "1st file uploaded: " 
        Response.write safileup.Form("file1").TotalBytes
        Response.write " bytes<br>"
end if
