DANGER, WILL ROBINSON! Messing around with backslashes requires detailed understanding of how they behave in both single and double quoted strings. If it is failing with doubled backslashes, that's a clue, because in double-quotes, that's the correct interpretation. So I am compelled to ask you to slow down to answer this one: *What is the fully qualified path to the directory you want the download to wind up in?* Not in PerlSpeak -- in ShellSpeak/CommandPromptSpeak. My gut still says this is a player in this drama -- we could be overlooking something really, really basic here.	[reply]

okay fully qualified DIR for where the images should be placed: `C:\Users\scott\Web\TEC\images-user>` [download] Where TEC is the ROOT for IIS (the site). :)	[reply] [d/l]

Just for kicks then: Fully-qualify it: `my $upload_dir = "C:\\Users\\scott\\Web\\TEC\\images-user"; : : open ( UPLOADFILE, ">$upload_dir\\$filename" )` [download] When all else fails, go back to the absolute.	[reply] [d/l]
