How to open&save uploaded file; pdf, jpeg, etc

I have downloaded and installed Visforms, and it is working well, very nice. My only difficulty and I have tried searching for solutions & I am giving up the search. In the first place I am not a well versed web administrator, I have just tried to maintain one using some friendly softwares (in this case joomla). Even its installations I depended on my server. To find the UPLOADED File open it and save it in my desktop- is where I need help.
Thank you very much!

Hi,

The uploaded files are stored in folder you specified in the form tab "advanced" in the parameter "Uploaded files path".

I thought that people would download the uploaded files via ftp from the folder specified like described above.

If you cannot do that it's a bit more sophisticated.
You set the form parameter "Save result" (result tab) to yes so that data submitted with the form are stored in the database.
You will see a link "display data" in the forms table of visforms then.

You have to copy the path i.e. /tmp/uploaded_image_908080.jpg from the data table which you can reach by clicking on the "display data" link.
Then open a new browser tab, insert the link to your website and add the copied path.
(Something like http://mywebsite/uploadfolder/filename.jpg).
You should see the uploaded image then in the browser and can save it (right mouse click-> save image as).

I can see, that is not the easiest way especially for someone not well versed in web administration.

I'm sorry. I will improve that in further version of visforms!

I hope you can live with it for now.

Please let me know if it works for you.

Kind Regards,
Aicha

Hi Aicha,
The problem is not really in my system,(I am the problem :silly: ) I tried to really concentrate on your instructions and finally I was able to locate and save the uploaded files. This is a very helpful program and for free. I will make my ratings and will send a small donation.
Thank you and May the Good Lord bless you and all your endeavors!
Sincerely yours,
Renato
