I'm creating a publicly accessable upload tool using ASP Upload and was wondering how much I should worry about Viruses.
Is it possible for files uploaded to attack the server? I was looking for a way to scan files uploaded for viruses but can't seem to find anything.
What I'd be looking for is something along the same lines of and online email systems that scans attachments for viruses.
There will be a section very similar to this forum, where a user can:
1) Fill out a web based form
2) Attach a file
3) The text and attachment will be emailed (via ASPmail) to the recipient list
My Questions are as follows:
1) I'm assuming I need to first upload the file to somewhere on my server with the correct write permissions BEFORE
actually attaching it to the ASPmail, correct?
2) How can I prevent users from sending attachments with viruses? Do I just install a realtime virus scanner (like norton)
on the server and it will automatically look at the uploaded files?
3) Assuming that #2 is correct, what happens when it detects a virus? what would the email actually send? I guess I could have
norton "delete" any files with viruses, and then write the ASP code so that if it can't find the uploaded attachment (because it was deleted)
the email can include a message like "attachment was deleted due to virus" or something.....right?
I'm assuming Norton would catch it quick enough between the upload time and the email send time....
Can anyone give me some pointers?
We are thinking of implementing ASPUpload component to allow users to upload files. Which is the best antivirus (virus scan) which we can use so that it intergrates possibly has a COM interface.
or is there another way? with our websites and we would be able to scan the documents in the temporary folder and upon successful scanning move them into a designated folder on the server? Does anyone know of an article or website where I can get a sample code for scanning uploaded documents.

I'm coding my graduation project for Information Systems at the University Of Cape Town, and have come into a little problem. My system is an inventory and point of sale system, which is running on asp, using vbscript. I need to scan in barcodes using the ps2 port, thus overriding the keyboard when scanning.
How do i accept the barcode scanner input and assign it to a variable, and validate it according to barcode standards?
I have a form submitted with a form field called contents. This could have loads of text in. What i need to do is scan this field for words that match the text in a database record called PAC_WORD.

I'm using IIS 5.1 and Windows XP, and need a free basic DLL to give me the facilities to do so. I understand that CPSHOST.DLL is a good component to use.
Firstly is it XP compatitable, if so where can I obtain it as it's not installed on my PC.

We have clients upload sql files to a folder on an IIS 6.0. The sql file are then processed by a scheduled task that runs once every 10mins to process the file with oSQL. With oSQL the files upload the data to a 2 tier SQL server. The developers are complaining about performance and are saying it is the OS/hardware.
I have Profmon on the IIS server and 2 tier SQL server. Both only peak at %5 usage on
processor memory stays close to the same. I believe that it would better to have IIS make a connection to the SQL server and upload the record directly. What do you think?and any examples would be nice or URL that talks about how to do this.
I frequently receive PDF files as attachments for a Client. After I receive the files, I burn them onto a CD and hand deliver the CD to the Client. Lately I changed to uploading these PDF files to my website. I put an Icon on the Desktop of the Client's computer so he can view the PDF files as they exist on my web site.
I am familiar with ASP programming and began to wonder if it is possible to write a routine where the author of the PDF file can go to a link on my Web page and upload directly to my server.

how I can upload multiple image files from an ASP page to an MS ACCESS database. I understand that the best method is to upload the image to a folder on the server and then insert the file name into the database. I have had a go with smartASPUpload, but no joy. Someone has also told me I need to download an upload file-is this true?
I am using the dreamweaver database, bindings, and server behaviours, so any code that you can send to me will link to the database via a custom connection string. I need the form to contain 2 upload fields and obviously I need both images to be saved when the form is submitted. My form contains some general text fields as well, which will also need to be inserted into the database.
I need to allow a user to upload images to my website.
I can't use an asp.net solution, just asp 3.0.
I'm trying to develop a webpage that will allow people to upload pictures onto the webserver from their own PC's but don't have a clue where to start!
View Replies View RelatedI have had a post previously that was regarding an image editing component for ASP, I had settled on csImageFile, which performed all the tasks I needed, and so I started looking for an upload component... Well ChestySoft also had a component called csASPUpload, which worked great, so I opted to get that too... Then I also noticed that ChestySoft also had a product that was an OCX control that allowed you to do a multiple post upload... which would be perfect for my uses.
My question is, does anyone know of a free alternative to csXPostUpload, or should I fork out the $80 for a license? www.chestysoft.com

First the upload doesn't work. The MBRequest(file1).Save isn't supported in this manner. I know you can use .save to upload a file.
Second You'll see that MBRequest is called to form a filename. The filename is called in another page to form a link to the file......
