System.Net.WebClient's Upload method fails - 404 Not found

Hi,
I am using vb2003 and theSystem.Net.WebClient class to upload and download a file. The download works fine but the upload fails and gives me an error number 404 - Not found. I have researched the web but couldn't find a solution. The code is staright forward (below). I am wondering if www.discountasp.net prevents uploads from taking place. Any insight into this problem is greatly appreciated.




Dim client As New System.Net.WebClient


client.UploadFile("http://www.imagereflector.com/Data_on_the_Web.mdb", "C:\Data_on_the_Web.mdb")

Thanks
-Doug

As far as I know dasp does not restrict the upload method on the servers. For most part .net classes are fully supported. Instead of using the WebClient class have you tried using the htmlinputfile class instead. I did a quick web app on this class just as a test a while back and it worked really great.

 

I don't think you can upload files using the System.Net.WebClient to an http address. Try using the FileUpload control instead.

You appear to be using the UploadFile method incorrectly.


The first parameter should be a URI to the script that will process your upload.


You seem to be using this parameter as the files destination, which is incorrect.
