Description

Welcome to UPLOADit! This plug-in will allow your users to upload any file they want from their computer to your FileMaker computer using only their web browser. There are several reasons why you may want to do this. Here are some examples:

• You may want to allow people to upload images to your web server and immediately be able to display those images on your web site.
• You may want to allow people to upload resumes to your web server as part of an employment web site.
• You may want to allow people to upload files they wish to attach to emails using your custom web based email client (using SMTPit and POP3it).
• You may want to allow students to upload their homework, essays, term papers, or research papers to your class web site.

A few possible uses:

• Upload images to your web site from any web browser.
• Upload resumes or other information as a part of your online applications.
• Upload files to attach to emails in your custom web based email client (using SMTPit and POP3it).
• Upload homework or research papers as part of your class website.

UPLOADit Features:

• Define multiple realms for multiple solutions.
• Take advantage of the multi-threaded operation, which allows fast multi-user uploads.
• Allows multiple file uploads from one web form.
• Pull in information about the file plus any other value from your web form right into FileMaker.
• Change the URL for the response page dynamically.
• Block Single IP Addresses and Ranges of IP Addresses.
• Limit the size and number of the uploaded files.
• Password protect your file uploads.

UPLOADit Frequently Asked Questions:

• Where is the full version, why do all the downloads say "demo"?
• I was told there was a newer version, but I can't find the upgrade on your site.
• Can I Upload Images/Files to a Container Field in FM7?
• Does UPLOADit work in FileMaker Server 7/8 Advanced?

FileMaker 7+ Compatibility

UPLOADit includes a FileMaker 7 and later Preview version of the plug-in and an example solution that works with it. Because FileMaker 7 and later does not include custom web publishing, UPLOADit can be used with Instant Web Publishing as the included example demonstrates. You can also use other web publishing systems to interact with FileMaker.
