Hi all

I have a question aboutuploading files and images,

I have a site that users can register an ID and each have a profile with username/pass to manage it.
now I want to add picture to profile page , so users can upload their pics .

My Host already has "ASPUpload" component.

What I'm looking for is , how to keep pics in my site ?
all of them in one folder ? or different way ?
and in case of having just one folder , how too keep them from being overwrite ?

Please help me out .

any idea will be great and appreciated.

you could have a folder for all the images...

and have the members picture to be named as there user name (so it wont overwrite anyone elses)

aspupload have examples on there site i think

I don't want ask users to rename pics , I want to find a way that website can handle all the job.

Thank you

AspUpload has examples for renaming images, just check out their samples.

AspUpload has a property that you can enable so it won't overwrite files, instead the componet itself will rename the file for you and report back the new file name.

.OverwriteFiles = False

Thank you fot all information ,
I'm going to read all the user manual of ASPUpload,

but I have 1 more question and I know it will be there , just if someone knows about that can tell me before I read it :))

Can I set to rename every single image to something like Username ?
Can I do that by ASPUpload ?

Thank you in advance
