Hi all ,
I wanted to upload a file with a default file name.
Ie i dont want to select a file using "BRowse" button
but instead i wamt to hardcode the name of file.
I tried doing teh same it did not work.
WHen i looked into RFC spec , it is mentioned that
value attribute of file is readonly . SO U cannot expliclity set a value to it ?
Is there anyway to establish the same.
Your help is very much appreciated.
Thnaks in advance,
Sunil.s

hi,
i was not able to understand ur problem.
See what i understood is, There is a document called java.doc and when he clicks onthe java.doc then it is displayed on browser.
now the client modifies and again he uploads to the server. so it overwrites the document in the server.
So is it what u want to say

what you have to do to achieve this is to create an trusted Activex Control which will do this for you. trusted controls can look into the user computer

Activex controls can be made in VC++ or VB
they run on client browser(unfortunately only on M$ ie)
what u can code in activeX control that it posts the files to one of ur jsp file using winSock.
