Modules that Enable Automatic Upload

The feature contains two files to process the file transfer.
Description
eWepMediaTransfer.dll client The module that the editor uses to initiate a transfer.
This object assembles form data and posts it to the
server. The accepting page written to accept files is also
specified on the client.
eWepAutoSvr.dll server ASP module that extracts and saves the uploaded file.
Its design is primarily for ASP.
If a server-side script supports COM on a PC, you can
use this object to help accept the file. The server script
must allow the retrieval of the raw posted form data for
this object to work.
The feature also includes ewepreceive.asp, a default ASP script that uses the
eWepAutoSvr.dll module and controls the upload if no other receiving page is
available.
For instructions on how to write a receiving script, see ”Creating an Automatic File
Receive Script” on page 466.
An Example of Customizing Automatic Upload
The ASP database sample illustrates how to customize the Automatic Upload
mechanism to update a database. Specifically
• the mediaautoreceive.asp file receives the file and updates the database
• the edit.asp file programmatically changes the editor's upload receiving page
when a "ready" notification is received
