Overview

The installation of aspSmartUpload can be broken down into four main stages :

- extract the downloaded file
- saving the aspSmartUpload.dll file on the NT server
- add the aspSmartUploadUtil.dll fils in the NT server Path
- install the samples

These four stages are fully described below.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Configuration required

Server :
- 300Ko of free disk space
- Windows NT 4 Service pack 3+, Microsoft IIS 4
or Windows 95+, Personal Web Server, ASP
or Windows 2000

For Microsoft IIS 3 users :
+ VB5 Runtime
+ asp.dll (version 1.0b+) : http://www.microsoft.com/office/intranet/modules/asp411s3.asp

Browser :
Your browser must be RFC 1867-compliant to be able to upload files.
Netscape 3+ and Microsoft IE 3.02+ accept the RFC 1867.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stage 1 : Extract the downloaded file

All the aspSmartUpload files are supplied in the zipped file, aspSmartUpload.zip.
Extract aspSmartUpload.zip to a temporary directory, making sure the directory structure remains intact.
If, for example, you extract the file to temp, you should see the following :

Stage 2 : Install aspSmartUpload.dll

You have to register aspSmartUpload.dll on your server. The dll can be registered by using either
Regsvr32.exe OR Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS).

1st Solution: Using RegSVR32
Copy aspSmartUpload.dll into a directory on the NT server (e.g. c:mydir).
Save the component using the commands :
REGSVR32.EXE c:mydiraspSmartUpload.dll (From DOS or the Start/Run prompt)

2nd Solution: Using Transaction Server
Select the NT server on which you wish to install aspSmartUpload.
Create a new batch.
In the component folder, create a new component called aspSmartUpload.
Paste aspSmartUpload.dll to the Transaction Server to save it.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stage 3 : Install aspSmartUploadUtil.dll

The objective is to enable the Operating System to access the aspSmartUploadUtil.dll file.

There is two ways to archieve this :
- Copy aspSmartUploadUtil.dll in the c:winntsystem32 directory. That way you don't have to update the
PATH propertie.
- Copy aspSmartUploadUtil.dll into a directory on the NT server (e.g. c:mydir).
Add the component directory in the PATH using the commands :
PATH=%PATH%;c:mydir (From DOS)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stage 4 : Install samples

Installation
The ASP application must be installed in an ASP-script-enabled web directory.

If your site has the following structure :

Copy the
tempaspSmartUploadMyInetpubscriptsaspSmartUpload directory
to the
inetpubscripts directory on your server.
Copy the
tempaspSmartUploadMyInetpubwwwrootaspSmartUpload directory
to the
inetpubwwwroot directory on your server.

Overview

It is possible to increase the level of security by using specific properties directly in the server's
registry base. That way, an ISP can define his own security
