FileUp Standard

What's new in FileUp V5.3.1
Issues resolved:

• "SaveAsDialog" and "OpenInPlace" ASP download samples did not work on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 due to duplicate content-length response header.

What's new in FileUp V5.3
Issues Addressed:

• FileUp was leaking small amount of memory per file during uploads
• In chunked-encoded uploads, the progress indicator's "TotalBytes" and "Percentage" properties were not populated in ASP.NET
• In uploads over 2-GB in ASP.NET, the progress indicator's "TotalBytes" property was getting instantly set to a negative value, and "TransferredBytes" property was returning negative values after the upload passed 2-GB
• When installed in COM+, FileUp threw the "Exception caught when processing request" error in classic ASP uploads and the "No such interface supported" error in ASP.NET uploads due to a bug in the SAFUpps.dll.
• FileManager's "FileExists" method did not recognize files with certain unicode characters in their name
• FileManager's "GetFile" method threw error "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect" for files with unicode characters in their name

Developers can use SoftArtisans FileUp to receive and process user input, while staying within the context of their Active Server application. SoftArtisans FileUp also includes a file download component, which allows you to simply and easily download files from the web server to the user's browser, with better security but without complicated registry settings.

What's New for Version 3.x:

Transactional Uploads are a key new feature of SoftArtisans FileUp. Transactional Uploads offer the following important advantages:

• Guaranteed synchronization between upload processing and database transactions
• Full Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) integration
• Vastly simplified error handling and guaranteed integrity when uploading multiple files
• Performance Monitor Counters allow you to precisely monitor upload and download performance. Upload size and duration can be precisely monitored
• MacBinary Decoding. For Macintosh clients, full MacBinary is supported. Files uploaded from a Macintosh will be stored with proper NTFS streams intact
• Recursive Directory Uploads. When used in conjunction with our client-side tools (SoftArtisans JFile and SoftArtisans XFile), entire directory trees can be uploaded in a single, easy-to-use operation
• Uploads to memory. Uploads can be stored in memory, rather than disk for better performance and security

• Server-side component requires no software be installed on user's PC
• Fully scriptable by IIS 3.0 (Active Server)
• Compliant with HTML 3.2 and Internet standard RFC 1867
