ShortFilename Property

Object:	SoftArtisans.SAFile
Syntax:	ShortFilename
Type:	String
Read/Write:	Read Only
Description:	This property returns the user's original name for the uploaded file, not including any path information. For example, if a user uploads a file from the following path on their hard drive: "C:\myFiles\filename.txt", the ShortFilename property will return "filename.txt". This property can be used in conjunction with the SaveAs or SaveInVirtual methods to save a file with the user's original user's filename in a directory other than the one used to temporarily cache the uploaded files (stored in the Path property). The Save method, on the other hand, will automatically save a file with the user's original filename to the directory assigned to the path property. Using SaveAs or SaveInVirtual in conjunction with ShortFilename is especially useful when you wish to dynamically set the destination of the upload based on data passed from the upload form. See also the ShortFilename property of the main FileUp object.

Example 1:

<%

'--- Create an instance of SoftArtisans FileUp Set upl = Server.CreateObject("SoftArtisans.FileUp") '--- Set the default path to store uploaded files upl.Path = "c:\temp" %> The first file is <%=upl.form(file1).ShortFilename%>. ...

Example 2:

<% '--- Create an instance of SoftArtisans FileUp Set upl = Server.CreateObject("SoftArtisans.FileUp") '---Set the default path to store uploaded files upl.Path = "c:\temp" '--- Retrieve the user's directory choice from the form newPath1 = upl.Form("directory1") '--- Save the individual file to the user's chosen directory '--- with the user's original filename upl.Form("file1").SaveAs newPath1 & "\" & upl.Form("file1").ShortFilename %>
