Thanks for responding Scott. Everytime I use the browse button I have a problem with the upload process. I really like the way you guys respond to the public without asking us to open an account before you respond. Thank you for the kind words Tony, we want everyone to feel comfortable asking questions.
With your situation, is there an error message or particular behavior you encounter when the browse button is clicked? Do you have any articles on creating a browse button so other can upload files and picturs to your browser? While you will not upload files to your browser as it lives on your local machine, you can set up some code to allow you to upload files and images to your hosting account.
We do not currently have an article with this code, but there is a good tutorial at W3Schools that goes over this for you. After uploading a file, you can Hotlink , or Directlink to the file, which is explained in this article. Any help? When you are uploading a file to your account, the location you put the file in depends what you are trying to accomplish. I recommend reading our guide that explains what directory to put your files in. Get web hosting from a company that is here to help.

MIME types for uploaded files can be spoofed under some circumstances, so checking the file's MIME type alone is not a reliable security check. Save the file to a location you specify. Alternatively, you can manage the uploaded file as a byte array or stream using the HttpPostedFile object's InputStream property.
The following example shows how to work with an uploaded file. The code checks the file name extension of the uploaded file against a hard-coded list of allowed file name extensions and rejects all other types of files. We've covered the basics of using this in the Publishing your website article from our Getting started with the Web guide, so we aren't going to repeat it all here.
However, it is worth knowing that you can also host a website on GitHub, but use a custom domain with it. See Using a custom domain with GitHub Pages for a detailed guide. The FTP protocol is one well-known method for publishing a website, but not the only one. Here are a few other possibilities:.

Change language. This article shows you how to publish your site online using file transfer tools. Prerequisites: You must know what a web server is and how domain names work. You must also know how to set up a basic environment and how to write a simple webpage. Objective: Learn how to push files to a server using the various file transfer tools available. It will be a concatenation of 20 dashes at the beginning and the transformed UUID value:.
As an alternative to the above we can create a mechanism which will pick random characters from a collection of available characters, and using them to form a string which will be appended to the boundary string. However, the second line of code requires from us to search for an ASCII table online and then locate the position of the characters we are interested in into the table. Data struct provides several initializers for creating a data object and there is one among them that accepts a sequence as an argument, exactly as we do in the Data sequenceOfRanges expression.
From that data object, we can create the following string which is assigned to the toString constant:. At first we initialize a string value called randomString.
Then, we create a loop that will be executed 20 times. In it, we pick a random character from the toString string using the randomElement method, and we generate a new String value String toString. This new String value is appended to the randomString. Note that is safe to force unwrap the value of the randomElement method, as it returns nil only in cases of empty collections. Use the implementation you prefer the most. At the end of the day, both approaches are going to work equally well.
These two dashes are not included in the dashes of the boundary string we generated in both approaches here.
This string will be provided as-is to the request as a request header along with the content type and server will try to locate it after the two dashes prefix. Also, a boundary string can exist with no dashes at all; we just add them to minimize the possibility to find similar string in the uploaded data.
As you will see later, the two dashes prefix will be manually appended whenever necessary. Our next steps involve the preparation of the HTTP body using any arbitrary data provided to the class, as well as using the files data.
But before we get into that, we will extend the Data structure and we will create the following generic method:. The purpose of this method is to let us easily append the values of the values collection to the data object that calls it. Just for clarification, we could avoid implementing this method. However, the code that we will add to it would have to be repeated multiple times in different points in the RestManager class, and that definitely would not be a wise move.
So, to continue go to the end of the RestManager. In each repetition we will convert the string value into a Data object and we will append it to the local newData variable. We will follow a quite similar approach in case of Data input values.
Of course, there is no need to initialize any new Data object or make a conversion of any type. We are appending one data value to another:.
We are going to put it in action starting from the next part. In the current implementation of RestManager there is a method named getHttpBody. Its purpose is to prepare the HTTP body with the data that will be posted to the server. In the new extension of the RestManager class, right below the createBoundary method, add the following:. Keep in mind that the HTTP body must be a Data value, so we are initializing such a value in this method, and this is also what the method returns.
In this example the data is the username and the password. The following apply to each piece of data:. We will use for first time the append values: custom method we implemented in the previous step in order to convert these strings into Data objects and append them to the body variable:. For now, we have to add the files data to the HTTP body as well.
