I am trying to upload files through html page in our unix based server but I don't know how to take the files on remote server & save files there.
I write the following code please help me to connect it.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function Upload()
{
var filename = document.getElementById("filename").value;
var storepath = "HOSTURL/Foldername";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
<input type="file" name="filename" />
<input type="submit" value="Upload" onclick="Upload" />
</form
</body>
</html>
Why using JavaScript? You can simple use the html form to post your file to the server:
<html>
<body>
<form action="/foo/bar.ext" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="filename" />
<input type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Change the form action
to the location you want to post the file to.
PHP would be a better choice for this.
<?php
if( isset( $_POST["Upload"] ) )
{
$target_path = "uploads/";
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['filename']['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['filename']['name']). " has been uploaded";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
}
?>
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" >
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
<input type="file" name="filename" />
<input type="submit" value="Upload" name="Upload" />
</form>
