I have an ASP.NET website hosted at 1and1.com and I want to develop a web page on their site that allows users to FTP large files to their site from the user's PC.  I tried using the FTP components that come with the 2.0 framework but, it doesn't work because it can't access the filesystem on a user's PC.  I believe I need a java applet or ActiveX control to accomplish this; are there any freeware ones out there?

The <asp:fileupload /> control allows for uploading of files from the users current computer to your webhost, or their websites, or wherever, as long as you have access to do that.

Hi

Why not use FileUpload control to upload files to server.

If you want to upload long size files, please check the setting of file size.

By the way, please pay attention to the permissions for file uploading writing.
