Uploading images with traditional ASP.

I have worked with pre-installed server components that allow me to upload and resize images through asp code, but these components can be a problem when working with a shared hosting environment. I.E. If the component is not already installed, the hosting provider is not likely to install it as they do not want to risk any problems it may cause for other accounts on the same server.

Is there a way to write asp that will allow me to upload images without having a component or dll registered on the server?

Thanks.

no, you need a component.

I think ASP.NET might have something for this, but I'm not familiar with .NET

You can upload files via straight VBScript, but you can't resize images.

.NET does have classes for image resizing.

If your host doesn't provide components like ASPImage or SoftArtisan's Image tools, you should probably think about getting a new host. Just my opinion.

Theres a script at pstruh.cz called pure asp upload but it has limitations.
