How can you set it so the file upload file folder property can properly link to a server to store the files on?
I can't keep saving people's uploads on the same local drive on my server (where codecharge is running). I'd like to save to a mapped drive that is 500 GB and is RAIDed and protected with Tape backup.
i've been trying to do this through a mapped drive to the file server, but no such luck. Any solve this problem?

thats more a web server limitation
if your web server can do it then you can - if your web server cant...
have you thought about moving your web server onto the server with more storage?

There are many ways to skin this cat. The first and easiest that comes
to mind is to create a remote mount point (either via NFS, SMB,
whatever), thus your file folder will really be on the other machine.
This is pending you're on *nix machines that you have control of.

I had a slightly similar situation.
What I ended up doing was to store the uploaded files in a small storage area, and then run a scheduled task to FTP them to the main storage area.
When I wanted to retrieve the file I would frist do a physical check to see if it was in the temp storage area (using the the file system object) and if it was not then I would use a link to the main storage area (using a standard link)
This way you do not fill up your critial storage area with lots of user files, and you can vary the FTP schedule to move them to a new location.
Hopes this helps
Dave

Oh - Mapped drives on the file server.
Depending on your OP system you could have some trouble. If it is windows then the IIS service runs in a very protected mode and often isolates such things like mapped drives etc.

1) Normaly IIS use the user IUSR_computername (image1)
http://www.informatica.com.do/7BZ-PortalImageUpload/ima....IIS-Image1.jpg
2) You will have to assign a Different user one that you will create with any password. (image 2)
http://www.informatica.com.do/7BZ-PortalImageUpload/ima....IIS-Image2.jpg
3) Now on the other computer create same user with the same password
to access the folder you will need to use UNC (Universal name Convention) like
\\COMPUTERNAMEORIP\myfolder
Should work:
Image and Spanish version:
http://www.informatica.com.do/Content.asp?cid=58
if you need to test that is working easy way:
<%
'==============================
'Informatica.com.do
'==============================
response.write DriveReady("c:")
response.write DriveReady("d:\")
response.write DriveReady("\\192.168.1.4\folder")
response.write DriveReady("\\COMPUTERNAME\folder")
'Valida si el Drive o unidad esta Disponible
Function DriveReady(strDRIVE)
Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If fs.FolderExists(strDrive) = true Then
Response.Write("<br>Folder " & strDrive & " exists.")
Else
Response.Write("<br>Folder " & strDrive & " does not exist.")
End If
set fs=nothing
End Function
%>
