How to upload a file to 2 FTP sites without an upload component for company

[Laphan]

Hi All

I can't get round this because it's a local government thing, but I've done
a CMS for a school (in ASP classic) that allows them to upload gifs, jpgs,
pdfs and docs to their site for the usual CMS stuff.

Works fine on my host as I use ASPupload and I have one FTP location for my
data, but I've now found out that I've got to put the site on the local
government's servers and they only provide the following setup:

1) No ASP components such as ASPupload. They say I can do it in ASP.net as
standard, but they can't give me any example code on how to do this!!! Any
ideas bearing in mind that I upload the file and then update an SQL DB with
the file info?

2) They have 2 FTP locations for 1 site (no mirroring) so a user normally
uploads the same content to 2 locations. This is no good for me as it's
50/50 as to whether the user uploads the file via my CMS to FTP site 1 or 2
and then 50/50 as to whether the visitor sees the content from FTP site 1 or
2. I cannot get them to alter this setup, even though I think it is crap,
so do you know of a way where I can upload the file to these 2 locations
simultaneously???

Thanks

You can FTP without a component -
[url]http://benmeg.com/code/asp/ftp.asp.html[/url] - I use this at work all the
time, saves me from having to upload the files using a component. I
just have to put in the name of the image, or other file, then ftp it
up.

You can also upload without a component -

I have used this as well, and it works fine.

Your second link is the same as your first

For ASP uploading, I've used this in the past with plenty of success: [url]http://www.motobit.com/help/scptutl/pure-asp-upload.htm[/url]
