Free & Simple solution for uploading files via a web page?

December 12, 2005 11:37 AM

My current project at work requires a form for users to upload their resume's to the client. I got the upload part working, now how can I let the client now each time something is uploaded via email or some other method?

I'm a web design intern working a a small design firm in Atlanta. One of my current projects requires a form that allows users to upload their resume to the client. It must be in asp and I am very new to asp. Any ideas on how to get this working. I got some free asp scripts off the net and got the actual uploading part working, now I just need some simple solution to let the client now when something is uploaded like an email or something. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not a programmer so please dumb it down if you can. Thanks in advance.

We need to know what your options are on the server. Ask your host whether they've got JMail or ASPMail installed, for instance, or if you have to use cdonts. Knowing that, we can help.

Ok, but can you ask someone? Or check the machine?

Response by poster: my bosses know less than I do. are these things that are commonly installed or most people have to do themselves? I know we have some asp scripts used for contact forms.

Your web host has to install ASPMail or JMail for you. CDONTS is usually set up already.

Try creating a new page with just this code, uploading it, and then looking at it in you browser. It will tell you if you have JMail or ASPMail running.

<%
Set Msg = Server.CreateOBject( "JMail.Message" )
If IsObject (Msg) Then
 response.write "Got JMail<br>"
Else
 response.write "Don't got JMail<br>"
End If

Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer")
If IsObject (Mailer) Then
 response.write "Got ASPMail<br>"
Else
 response.write "Don't got ASPMail<br>"
End If
%>
