in reply to Upload file from DOS to Unix

Sorry - web browsers won't let you do that for security reasons. If they did I could put up a page with a hidden file upload field to snag your /etc/password or whatever the equivalent would be on Windows. If you do find a way to do this please report it as a bug in your browser!

PS: What browser are you using in DOS? Did you perhaps mean Windows?

    I am trying this from IE 5. I edit the file in Windows environment using Notepad and then upload to Unix.

    I did read that auto upload is not possible because of security reasons but was wondering if there is a way around.
