Allowing To Select Upload Directory in Webserver

I'm required to improve my upload webpage so that user are allowed to choose which folder in the webserver into which they can upload some files. Since I haven't been that long working with Java and JSP, I had no luck solving this problem.
Can anyone kindly give me some advice as to how to achieve this? Website with such feature will help too.

there is no easy solution.
You will have to create a browser for the upload file directory where the users are allowed to downlaod too, in that browser users select the path and you need to retrieve it to do the actual download.
Most web containers use it to allow you to upload things but i have seen a package for it yet,.

How to allow image file uploading, but protect the directory from abuse?

I have an upload facility that allows visitors to upload their personal image (aka avatar) to my client’s site. This required me to CHMOD the assets folder to 777 which leaves the folder wide open to abuse.
Is there a way to allow the uploading of files but protect the directory from abuse?
I could put the images in the database but I assume that would quickly drag down the performance of the (MySQL) database.
Any ideas?!
Thank you in advance,
Glenn.

This required me to CHMOD the assets folder to 777 which leaves the folder wide open to abuse.
Only if the abuser can get an executable file of some sort into that folder. If you are filtering the files during upload to select only image files then I think you are pretty safe.
I could put the images in the database but I assume that would quickly drag down the performance of the (MySQL) database.
Definitely - you would never want to store the images as blobs unless you had a compelling reason to do so. It's much more forward thinking to just save the image filenames in the database, and link to them as needed.

How to "select a Directory" from Browse button

Hi all,
I am new to Swing API.
All I want is to create a TextField and a Browse button.
User has to select a directory from Browse button and upon selection of the directory and clicking OK, the directory should be placed into TextField.
Hope this is not new............
Help me do this.....
Thanks in advance

Take a look at JFileChooser. You can build a JFileChooser instance that will allow the user to select DIRECTORIES_ONLY (hint, take a look at the constants), it should do the trick ... (even though it's pretty ugly alright)

Security implication of 'Allow Public File Upload' to Yes

Hi
I am concerned about setting 'Allow Public File Upload' to Yes. Per the help text "Select Yes to permit unauthenticated users to upload files in applications that provide file upload controls. Select No to prevent unauthenticated users from uploading files in applications that provide file upload control"
That means anyone who has access to the URL can upload files of any type in to the application without any authentication.
Is this true?
Is this not a security risk in that case? Are there any alternatives which would allow 'authenticated' users to upload files via apex application.
Thank you
Kumar

Hi
Can you explain in detail? Sorry I am not an apex developer and as a DBA I was asked to set this setting in apex and since this affects all workspaces (and all apex applications) I was concerned about this.
I think we can have a custom procedure that checks to see who is uploading. One such example is given here
http://www.mandsconsulting.com/oracle-apex-tutorial-8-up-and-downloading-files-part-2-video-training
Also another concern is this
Allow Public File Upload [YES | NO] This applies only to applications that do not use any type of authentication, so that all users are anonymous. At first glance, file upload into the database seems relatively harmless, since the first threat that comes to mind is someone uploading a file with a virus, yet there is no way to execute a file inside the database that mitigates this risk . However, consider the possibility of someone uploading a bunch of large files. At the very least, this will be very resource intensive At some point, the tablespace used by the APEX_FILES schema will fill, which is essentially a denial-of-service attac

Need to select a directory name.

I need a dialog that will allow me look through my computer and select a directory name only. The file name is automatically generated, I figured this part out.

Thanks for your answers, but I already found how to use a "File Dialog Function" from looking at other postings. But I guess it's not working the way I am expecting.
I attached a constant to the select mode input and set it to "existing dir" mode 3. Then attached a start path control to the start path.
Now when the dialog opens to select a "directory", I can only select a file. The directory information is in the total file path but I really don't want to select on a file. I need to select a directory and have this information show up. I don't want to see a file name in the final selection.
Any more information?

I'm looking for an app that will allow me to upload my contracts and forms to my iPad, fill in a customer's personal information, sign them, save them and email them.

I'm looking for an app that will allow me to upload my contracts and forms to my iPad, fill in a customer's personal information, sign them, save them and email them. I looked at easySign, Filemaker, FM Touch, Sign Docs, Zosh, Exzact, Mi-Co

FormConnect (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/formconnect/id432653695?mt=8&ls=1) can handle the filling out, signing, saving and emailing the contracts/forms but uploading the contract and the form is going to be a challenge because you’re dealing with paper documents that have to be scanned. If you can convert the scanned documents into an OCR program, you might be able to copy and paste the contract without having to retype it but the form itself is probably going to have to be recreated. Alternatively, you could use a document annotation program such as iAnnotate and mark up the contract with ink.

How do i create a website that allows customer to upload images and text?

I need some help i have a friend who has asked me if i can create a website that allows them to upload their own images and text at their leisure.
His company is in the car sales trade so they need to regularly be updating their stock, and this needs to be done by somebody with limited computer knowledge so ease of use is fairly important.
I am using dreamweaver cs4 on a G5 Imac running Snow leopard 10.6.8, my skills are limited to creating uncomplicated websites but i am very keen to learn, i am aware of content management systems such as Druplal but have zero knowledge on how to use these.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

You can take a read here

Although putting together a form that would upload images and all the descriptions required seems like a fairly straghtforward project, depending on your current skill set.

Restrict the user should not allow to select No Excise entry tab in MIGO

Hi
how to restrict the user should not allow to select No Excise entry tab in MIGO
if the material Excisable user can bale to select the No Excise entry tab in MIGO . my requirement .... if the Pop come Please enter Excise Invoice number and Excise Invoice Date user should not change the No Excise how to restrict pls advise me
@sakhi

These are the options provided by SAP keeping in mind Indian Scenario. Sometimes, vendor forget to send excise invoice copy with the material, in such case, you can select 'Only Part I'.
Even if you have maintain vendor excise details & material excise details (By mistake) in J1ID, system will throw an error message, excise invoice value is zero. In such case, we can select option 'No excise entry'.
Your requirement can't be fulfilled in standard way. Even if you go for any Z- developement, you will lose the option.

Firefox 5.0.1 will not allow me to upload any files. I receive an error message, though I know the files are vaild.

Firefox 5.0.1 for Mac OS 10.6.8 is not allowing me to upload attachments. I get a pink band with the message "Files with errors will not be uploaded". When I click on the View Error link, it tells me "This file couldn't be added because it appears to be empty (0 bytes). " These are valid jpeg files that I have attached many times before, so I know there is no problem with the file. Also, Firefox has recently given me an error message about restarting in 32-bit mode to accommodate a plug-in. I have ticked the '32-bit" option in the Get Info window of the Firefox application.

I have been unable to drag and drop large files, even onto the Desktop, let alone onto my NAS - I get the dragged files freezing in the middle of the screen or I get the 'unable to copy / file in use' error.
Talking to Apple Support, they had me set up a new User, and then within that new account, the trouble went away. This pointed to the StartUp items being run in the original troublesome account,
I have deleted all of my 3rd Party programs and then installed them one by one until the problem came back, and in my case (Macbook Air 5,2 running 10.10.3 Yosemite) I found it was DropBox causing the conflict. I have DropBox running in the Menu Bar (top of screen) and disabling sync (bottom left corner) stopped the file copy problem. Try disabling DropBox sync is file copying is failing?

Upload Directory Configuration Problem in jdev 10.1.3.2 adfbc

I am configuring a file upload utiltity. By default my files are created in /tmp directory i.e on c:\tmp folder. I intend to change this behaviour as i want this to be uplaoded into a drive other than c:\
When we define the upload directory i have specified d:\amitupload\ files are uplaoded properly. But the problem is downloading the same. Its giving me nullpointer exception.
What am i doing wrong. I followed the SRDemo Steps for file upload/download
regards
Amit

Frank can we have UPLOAD_DIR defined as d:\uploaddir for windows or /app/uploads for linux operating system
I am doing this way this method is called on download button action.
My problem i could resolve the issue as my uploaddoc method was executed on value change listener attached on the input file component. So when i clicked on download this uploaddoc method is fired which cannot find the file in the input file component so the error message as null pointer exception.
I shifted the code to upload button action now its working fine.
thanx
public String onDownload() {
FacesContext fctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ValueBinding vb = fctx.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{row.AddudFilePath}");
Object documentName = vb.getValue(fctx);
if(documentName !=null){
File srcdoc = new File((String)documentName);
if (srcdoc.exists()) {
FileInputStream fis;
byte[] b;
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) fctx.getExternalContext().getResponse();
// file should be downloaded without display
response.setContentType("application/x-download");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="+srcdoc.getName());
response.setContentLength((new Long(srcdoc.length())).intValue());
OutputStream out;
try {
out = response.getOutputStream();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO
e.printStackTrace();
// no error message shown to the user. Consider adding a Faces

System.out.println(fis);
