Hi Everyone,

I'm struggling with this issue from last month. please help or suggest.

I got one enhancement to upload the documents using power builder web (deployed into IIS).
I'm able to upload the documents but the directory opening as server directory( that deployed IIS server path) I want to open this with user directory.

Tried with GetFileOpenName() and PBWEB functions but no luck.

please suggest how to open the user's file directory instead of IIS server directory using PB web.

Note: I tried with openfilemanager() and UploadFiles() functions using PB WEB also. with this i can able to open the user directory but folder is saving to particular session from the application root. unable to move that document into network drive or other local folder.

Regards,

Manoj

Have you tried to move the file after the successfully upload into a directory using an UNC path?

Also check that the Application Pool User has access rights to that UNC path.

Are you really asking how to get a filename from a complete filepath, where the filename can be found after the last "\" ?

how to move the existing document from a file directory to other folder?

or can we copy the whole folder to other folder directory instead of filename?

FileCopy() /FileMove() needs filenames.

You can also try to check if the file exists or get the FileLength(up_files[i]).

Remember that you are operating on a virtual file system.

Hi Manoj, Take a look at PowerServer... it basically supports all PowerBuilder features. https://youtu.be/Li_pTEwMqw0

Hi Manoj;

PBWeb is a long ago & now fully deprecated feature of PB. It was removed from the PB product in version 12.5 by Sybase. Appeon PB does not include this feature. If you want to move forward with something similar, I would suggest looking at TopWiz Web from TopWiz...
