upload files and edit database tool

[10inja]

Hi all,
I've deployed my first site and all is working fine.. thanks to all the help on this forum.
I know how to use visual studio 2008 to upload images and edit the database (add rows and delete rows).

If I'm on a computer that doesn't have visual studio 2008, is there a free tool to:
1. Upload files
2. edit the database

edit: it's sql 2008 database

Hi,
Search the forums for links I've posted to a free Web Manager that runs very well on DASP servers.
And DASP does have a Web tool for accessing your SQL account:

https://sqlwebadmin.discountasp.net/Hey Mark, thanks dude. You're a life saver.. I tried the sql web admin and it's "perfect".

Now, to upload files, does dasp have a tool as well? Or shall I search your posts for links to free tools? Do I just need a ftp program? Sorry, I'm new.

I searched and found a link to the web explorer ASP File Manager from Gleamtech.. .. that should work.. a web app where I don't have to download and install a program would be a preference.. but no biggie

...That is the Web manager I was referring to...I've used it here and can say for sure it does a good job. Also great for renaming the SQL Server backups because you can rename files on your site with it.
All the best,

How do I get this to work?
The only instructions are:
Just upload the contents of the distribution to a folder in your web root like "wexlite", no other configurations are required. Default password is "tester". Edit "config.asp" to customize the settings which are explained by comments.

Hi,
Have you messed with ASP before?
The Web manager will run as is, just create a folder on your site for it.
For example, I called it 'xtree', so it would be at the bottom of my site structure.
(And that was the name of an old DOS based file manager I used back in the 80's.)

I recommend you change the default username and password, they are hard coded.

If you can't get it running let me know.
All the best,
Mark

cool.. I'll be playing with it as soon as I get home.. how do i access it though?

[wisemx]

...Once you have it on your site it will load the login page when you goto the folder it is in.
You can test drive it on their site:

this thing is very cool.. and it works..thanks thanks..
I will be uploading images on daily basis.. with this tool, I can only upload one image at a time (or at least that's what it looks like to me)..
Is there anything else I can use to upload multiple files at the same time??.. they can all be going to the same directory

...Cool ;-)

The last post of mine in this thread:

I posted the code for a multi-file upload that works great on DASP servers.
It is also in Classic ASP, you just need to change the default settings.

Notice that it sends an Email.
Many of the people who have downloaded that have left my Email notification in there.
Please make sure you change all settings like that. ;-)
All the best,
Mark

Hey Mark.. so.. thanks for all the help.. that code you wrote is pretty cool too.. great job.
I guess I'm a little spoiled..but.. isn't there some sort of app like ftp or something that I can use that looks similar to the visual studio 2008 where I can select multiple directories and copy them over all in "one click" .. lol. I know.. don't hit me..

...There are tons of good FTP apps out there.
One I like, that I've tested on IIS6 and IIS7 here is FireFTP for Firefox:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/684?src=api

Give it a try, it's free and I find it nice and tidy, quick and simple.
All the best,
Mark
