Creating an upload link

Post by Brewhaus » Thu Apr 21, 2011 11:43 am

For one of the services that we offer we receive large files from customers. As this is becoming much more frequent we would like to create an upload link option that we can direct them to so that they can easily upload their file(s). Until now we have needed to make them go to a free file download site, upload their files, and then we have to retrieve them. This is less professional, and far less convenient all the way around. Is there an easy way to create upload functionality to a page, which we could just keep as a hidden category (so that we just give the customer the link when they need to send us a file)?

Mazhar modified the ContactUs control to allow uploads. You may be able to use something from that:

Our problem is that we cannot have the uploaded file forwarded to us by e-mail due to the size of the files that we are receiving, as they will bounce. The files can easily top 20MB, so we really need to have it just placed into a folder on the server for us to retrieve.
