Here's how I've been trying to go at it...

mob
verb
Upload(F as file)
?????? << ftp(F)

What do I put in for ?????? I want to allow users the ability to upload a file that will be stored on the server. Not cached but actually stored as a file. This seems like it should be simple and easy to do, but I can't find a solution searching the forums. Help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

so it can be manipulated later you mean and used around the whole program... I was wondering that too

Exactly. It _should_ be simple. I'm back to using fcopy.

Upload(F as file)
fcopy(F,"audio1.mp3")

Which works fine locally, but once running online dreamseeker crashes out about a third of the way through upload (around the 1MB mark or so). I tried putting a sleep before the fcopy incase the file was being renamed while still being only partly uploaded. Nope, still crashed near the same point.

very unlikely to work but try using 'set background = 1'....

No go. Wish it didn't work locally, than I could try fixing the problem rather than trying to find another way to do the same thing.

With this idea could you not upload save files? if so how because it would be much better security than client-side saving
