Installing HTTP File Upload Applet may be accomplished as follows:

 

1.        Extract the contents of httpapplet.zip to your local hard drive using any zip extraction utility.   If you do not have a zip archive extraction utility you may obtain one for free at http://www.winzip.com

2.        Create a directory on your web server that can be accessed from your web root. For example /httpapplet

3.Upload all files extracted in Step 1. to the directory you created on the web server in Step 2.
4.Go to test page located at the URL http://server/dir/index.html where the server portion of the URL is replaced with the IP address or domain name of your web server and dir portion of the URL is replaced with the relative path of the directory you created in Step 2. Example: http://www.mydomain.com/ftpapplet/index.html
5.Before uploading any files using the applet you will need to define your applet url parameter and create a server side script to handle file uploads.

 

Note

 

Ensure that files are transferred using binary mode when using an FTP client to transfer files.  Failure to do so may result in file corruption and inability to run applet.
