Drag-and-drop interface.
Sets a limit on file number, size and extension before an upload begins.
Fires events for client-side VBScript and VB apps to handle.
Works in "silent" mode without displaying error messages.
Works as a server component that can be used in an ASP environment.
Displays a reply from the server.

What's new in XUpload 2.1

IncludeDateInfo property added. Date preservation can be switched off by setting this property to False. This is useful when XUpload is used with a server component other than AspUpload.

Stop method added. Uploading can now be aborted programmatically.

NTLM (Challenge/Response) Authentication support. Previous versions of XUpload had problems accessing upload scripts protected by NTLM. XUpload 2.1 is free of this limitation.

Improved Basic Authentication support. XUpload 2.1 displays the standard IE login dialog instead of a custom one.

Improved RFC-1867 compliance. Content-Type and Content-Length headers are explicilty set.

Several minor bugs fixed.

"What's the Difference between AspUpload and XUpload?"

AspUpload is a server component that resides on the web server. It captures, saves and processes file uploaded with an HTML form or other agent. XUpload is a client-side ActiveX control that provides features traditional form-based uploading does not, such as a progress bar or directory uploads. While AspUpload can be used without XUpload (if files are uploaded using an HTML form), XUpload requires AspUpload to capture uploaded files.

Check Out the XUpload Live Demo!

Your browser's security settings must be set to "Medium." To change the settings, go to View/Internet Options..., open the Security tab, choose "Medium (more secure)". Note that the demo will install XUpload control on your computer. You must use IE 4.0 or higher as XUpload uses the Microsoft IE4 WinInet API.

"XUpload has expired on my machine! What should I do?"

Run Regedit from the Start/Run prompt, open the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Persits Software and delete the subkey XUpload. After that, remove XUpload from the browser cache by going to Tools/Internet Options.../Setting/View Objects and removing Persits Software XUpload from the list. You will be given another 30 days to evaluate the control.
The XUpload Manual is available on-line.
