fupload is a script that'll help you in the process to upload a file or group files to a server. With it you'll be able to rename files, deleting empty spaces, put a prename and create a file with a list of links for that files automatically. This script must be used inside the Visual Fox Pro at the command window. Visual Fox Pro is a software for Windows platform. The name fupload means FoxUpload.

1. The standard path is c:\fupload. If you prefer use fupload in another unit (eg. d:) open the file: fupload.prg and modify the DEFAULTFOLDER constant.
2. Rename the file fupload.winscript to fupload.bat. Open it in notepad and modify your server path.

Obs.: You must configure the server path. In fupload.prg modify the constants: SERVERFOLDERPDF (server path for pdf files) and SERVERFOLDERZIP (server path for zip files).

1. Put all of the files that you want to upload in the start folder
2. In command window in Visual Fox Pro write the code: Set procedure to path/fupload/script/fupload.prg . If you use the standard configuration the path is c:\fupload\script\fupload.prg (now the fupload is ready to use in memory)
3. Now write the code: Do fupload or if you can put a prename in the files write: Do fupload with "prename" (this command rename the files to a friendly name withou empty spaces and copy then to the tmp directory, beyond create a log file with a HTML links for that files.)
4. Now you must change the link names in the log File to a human friendly link name.
5. Copy the list of links and put into your page HTML, and copy this page to your web server.
6. Click in the fupload.bat file in the script folder to upload the files to the server folder.
7. "Welcome aboard: You’re riding the fupload!"
