FileUp can be instructed to cache the upload to memory instead of to disk, using the UseMemory property of the FileUp object*. From there, the uploaded files can be accessed through the UploadContents property of the File object. The UploadContents property can return the file contents as a string, an array of variants or an array of binary characters. The example below uses FileUp to cache the upload to memory, access the uploaded file contents as a string and write the contents of the string back to the browser in the HTTP Response:

<%
 '--- Declarations
 Dim oFileUp

 '--- Instantiate the FileUp object
 Set oFileUp = Server.CreateObject("SoftArtisans.FileUp")
 oFileUp.UseMemory = true

 '--- Check to be sure there was a file selected in the form
 '--- If so, continue processing
 If Not oFileUp.Form("myFile").IsEmpty Then

    Dim myString
    myString = oFileUp.Form("myFile").uploadContents(0)'--returns string

    '--- The file is saved, display a confirmation message
    Response.Write myString

 Else
    Response.Write("Error: There was no file submitted for upload.")
 End If

 '--- Destroy objects
 Set oFileUp = Nothing
%>

*UseMemory has no effect when used in conjunction with FileUp's httpModule or ISAPI filter. For further information, see the link below for the UseMemory property.
