Hi

I just can't get file upload to work for me! It's all happening as far the client side is concerned (click submit, selected file is obviously getting transferred, judging by the time it takes to complete the process). However, at the server end there's no trace of this file anywhere. The text property of designated text field on the form contains the original file name + the path/name where the file is saved locally (eg. 'screenshot.bmp;c:\jade51\bin_jadehttp\transfer\tfx238.tmp'). The transfer directory entry in the ini file is left at default, so this should work. I also tried changing it to a different directory, but no luck.
This is one of them annoying things where everything seems ok apart from the fact that the whole thing doesn't work!
Any hints?

Hido,

As per the response I just sent after your query to JADE Support, for increase security in the 5.1 release you are now required to process the file in the event that resulted in the file upload occurring. In order to prevent malicious use of files that are uploaded to your Web enabled application, the files are removed as soon as the event that resulted in their upload has completed. You should therefore either process the file or move it into a directory not available via the Web for future processing.

Thanks,
Brian Johnstone,
JADE Support.
