This may be a dumb question but i'll ask it nonetheless:
I'm trying to upload to a remote server.....
Why I getting an error with this code:
<html>
<body>
<%
Set Upload=Server.CreateObject("Persits.Upload.1")
Count = Upload.SaveVirtual ("http://m.1asphost.com/thegroupgenesis/")
%>
</body>
</html>
===============THEN THE ERROR==============================
Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0173 : 80004005'
Invalid Path Character
/doUpload.asp, line 8
An invalid character was specified in the Path parameter for the MapPath method.

Is the page actually doing the upload with the aspupload component on the same server as where you are trying to save the file to?

umm you can't upload a URL, unless that COM object excepts it, obviously it doesn't.
try: /thegroupgenesis/

:o
Okay so i can't upload a URL u say..... :eek:
Here's the deal the "/thegroupgenesis" won't work SIMPLY because the directory "thegroupgenesis" is NOT ON THE SERVER the asp file is. I want upload the file to another remote server location....
How do i get that into the upload code? Thats what I wana know
Thanks tho... :confused: :thumbsup:

My best guess is that a physical path is needed instead of a virtual path. If so, then perhaps change this:
Count = Upload.SaveVirtual ("http://m.1asphost.com/thegroupgenesis/")
To be more like this instead (using the appropriate physical path of course):
Count = Upload.SaveVirtual ("d:\websites\1asphost.com\thegroupgenesis\")

Okay.... i really don't have a clue where and what letter the physical drive would b....
I'm writing this code to upload to a free server.....
all i know about the server is that the home site is http://www.1asphost.com
and my files reside somewhere in
http://m.1asphost.com/thegroupgenesis

Very generally speaking, the upload form needs to point to a page/script
that resides on the same server that you need to place the file on. If this is all an internal thing within a network, then permissions have to be worked out for one box to upload to another(Intranet/San/Nas scenario). If this is Internet thing, upload script should be on that same server where the file goes.

To get some more clues about what the physical folder is:
<%
Response.Write "Server.MapPath with . : " & Server.MapPath(".") & "<br>"
%>
