View 3 RepliesI am using FileUpload control to facilitate Image file upload on my website. I want to restrict a user to upload only Image file. I am using
if (fupFirmLogo.PostedFile.ContentType == "image/Jpeg")

View 4 RepliesI want to limit the allowed uploaded file types to images, pdfs, and docs. What is the recommended way to approach this?I assume checking the file extension alone is not enough, since an attacked can change the file extension as he wishes.I also thought about checking against MIME Type using PostedFile.ContentType.I still don't know if this is adding any further functionality than checking against file extensions alone, and if an attacker have and ability to change this information easily.This is basically for a course management system for students to upload assignments and teachers to download and view them.

Can i upload a file on a network share folder using file upload control?
I would like to create a share folder on a file server sitting next to the web server. If i upload the file from the network share folder instead of uploading it from the client machine does it make any difference?
Will the file be stored in a temporary location before copying to the final destination? Where will be the file stored in this case of uploading it from share folder?
My testers have discovered that if you type free text into a file upload input then none of the buttons on the page work until that text is removed (so the page cannot be submitted).
I am able to replicate this with the following ASPX code (with no code behind):
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:FileUpload ID="fuTest" runat="server" />
<asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" runat="server" Text="Submit" />
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
(Note that I haven't bound any handlers to the page; despite this, the page is submitted when the submit button is clicked only if no text is entered into the upload text box)
Is there any way to prevent users from typing free text into a file upload control? It seems that this is only possible in IE - Firefox and Chrome natively prevent text from being entered into upload input fields.
I've seen solutions elsewhere which suggest hiding input and replacing it with a label / button combo, but this seems like it might cause more problems and work inconsistently across browsers.
I have a file upload control on my page with a regular expression validator that handles the file format.
Users can upload files but I want the maximum WIDTH size to be 500px.
If any bigger I need to show a message advising the width is to great and stops them.
I know the asp.net file upload control only allows users to select one file at a time, however i am looking for another way using asp.net to allow the users to select multiple files?

View 5 RepliesI have a database of users that we used to have on a different system. The users already have their username and passwords associated with.
Now we are switching the entire system to .Net , and we will be using the membership to authenticate the users and start creating the new users with the wizard.
My question is : how could we import the users from a different database (mysql) , to the membership database on MS SQL ?
And also the passwords on the mysql database are in clear text , when we import them to the membership database on ms sql , is it going to apply the hash on them ?
