Simple upload

I want to allow visitors to a password protected web page to be allowed to
upload a QuickBooks file, it will be saved to a folder on the web server and
then I will retrieve it at a later time. My host does not allow uploads
however, I thought I might be able to get around this using ASP.NET
programming - is that possible?
I know just enough code (aka very little) to be confused about what I can /
can't do with HTML & ASP. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
 
QB files are large, the ones I send up to my accountant are 12-20 meg, and I
send them to their FTP folders they have set up for each individual client,
each of us has our own folder and login name and password.

If you web host doesn't allow upload, then you will need to fine one that does. A web host has to
grant upload permissions on the folder that would hold the uploaded content.

Thanks Rob & Thomas...I appreciate your info.

Rob - do the individual clients of your accountant have to have an FTP
program to upload the files? What you do with your accountant sounds like a
good option for what I am trying to achieve but I am not 100% sure how to do
that. Would you mind laying out suggestions how to do this? Thanks!
 
I use Internet Explorer to ftp my files to my accountant. You'd have to ask
your host if they allow ftp folders and how to set them up if they do.
So...no you don't need a separate ftp client if you know how to use IE as
ftp client, not sure about other browsers.

Click to expand...
There's a plugin for Firefox called "FireFTP" - I installed it last
night and it seems pretty fast and stable.

What if you know how to use IE as an FTP client but don't / won't use IE?

Andrew says FireFox has a plug-in...or I suppose you could use FileZilla or
other free ftp client.
