Create a secure upload site with recurring uploads

Create a secure upload site with recurring uploads

Is there a tutorial that can help me create a secure upload site that includes a short registration form. The users will need access to the upload site and be able to update files as needed. I have tried the Webassist upload tutorials without success.

there is not a tutorial with these specific details


Use Security assist to create the login page and protect the page that you add the upload to. See the security assist getting started guide.

I used Security Assist to create a registration with login page. I then added code for a basic upload form to the registration form
<label for="file">Upload File:</label>
<input type="file" name="upload" id="upload"> .

Can I use upload from the File Manipulation menu to integrate this into the registration form?

Yes... you would have to also update your form enctype to multipart/form-data.

Updated the enctype="multipart/form-data" . I'm not able to see the registration from and userupdate pages in the browser. The error messages is the same for both pages:

Warning: require_once(webassist/security_assist/helper_php.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/registration2.php on line 8

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'webassist/security_assist/helper_php.php' (include_path='.:') in /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/registration2.php on line 8

I tried deleting the lines of code but still not able to view the pages in a browser. I'm not able to test the upload portion of the form until this is corrected. The registration2php file is attached.

the error message means that the webassist/security_assist/helper_php.php file is not on the server, make sure to upload the entire webassist/ directory to the server.

Fixed the error messages but upload is still not working on the registration site. I added the webassit upload code to the site but when the registration form is submitted, the file doesn't save. I'm not getting an error message. The registration file is attached if needed.

theres a couple problems:

1) in the upload server behavior, you have bound the file field to the Validated entries collection. Instead, clci the Down Arrow next to the file field setting and select the file field from your page.

2) in the insert record behavior, you have bound the UserFiles to the Registration_group_1_UserFiles, instead, click th4e lightning bolt icon, select the WA Uploaded Files(Registration_group_1_UserFiles) binding group and select the user file name binding.

3) in your form tag the enctype attribute is misnamed nctype

change:
<form class="Basic_Default" id="Registration_Basic_Default" name="Registration_Basic_Default" nctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="<?php echo (htmlentities($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"], ENT_QUOTES)); ?>">

to:
<form class="Basic_Default" id="Registration_Basic_Default" name="Registration_Basic_Default" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="<?php echo (htmlentities($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"], ENT_QUOTES)); ?>">

I made changes to the registration form and now getting an error, Notice: Undefined index: userupdate_User_Update_group_1_UserFiles in /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/tsec/registration.php on line 26. I'm not able to upload a file to the destination folder.
