ABCUpload lets you specify save locations using a number of convenient formats. You can specify such locations as absolute paths or as URLs and ABCUpload will automatically resolve any references for you.

ABCUpload will interpret the following paths as absolute references.

[C#]
using WebSupergoo.ABCUpload6;
Upload theUpload = new Upload();
UploadedFile theFile = theUpload.Files["filefield"];
theFile.SaveAs("h:\\mydir\\myfile.txt");
theFile.SaveAs("h:/mydir/myfile.txt");
theFile.SaveAs("//myserver/mydir/myfile.txt");
theFile.SaveAs("\\\\myserver\\mydir\\myfile.txt");

[VB]
Imports WebSupergoo.ABCUpload6
Dim theUpload As Upload = New Upload()
Dim theFile As UploadedFile = theUpload.Files("filefield")
theFile.SaveAs("h:\mydir\myfile.txt")
theFile.SaveAs("h:/mydir/myfile.txt")
theFile.SaveAs("//myserver/mydir/myfile.txt")
theFile.SaveAs("\\myserver\mydir\myfile.txt")

It will interpret the following paths as relative URLs and will convert them to absolute paths before saving the file in the appropriate location.

[C#]
using WebSupergoo.ABCUpload6;
Upload theUpload = new Upload();
UploadedFile theFile = theUpload.Files["filefield"];
theFile.SaveAs("myfile.txt");
theFile.SaveAs("uploads/myfile.txt");
theFile.SaveAs("../images/myfile.jpg");

[VB]
Imports WebSupergoo.ABCUpload6
Dim theUpload As Upload = New Upload()
Dim theFile As UploadedFile = theUpload.Files("filefield")
theFile.SaveAs("myfile.txt")
theFile.SaveAs("uploads/myfile.txt")
theFile.SaveAs("../images/myfile.jpg")

ABCUpload decides whether a path should be interpreted as a URL or as an absolute file path using a simple heuristic. If the path...

• contains a colon it will be interpreted as an absolute path
• contains a backslash it will be interpreted as an absolute path
• starts with "//" it will be interpreted as an absolute UNC path
• otherwise it will be assumed to be a URL
