Editing/Creating files
I've installed Fileman and it works great except one minor thing(or major depending on how you look at it). When editing/creating files larger than around 4K in size the browser waits, and waits, and waits, for a response from the server, but never gets one.
The file is not edited nor created unless it is less than 4K(approx.) in size.
I'm running an Apache server-ver. 1.3.3 for win32 on a Windows 95 OS. File Uploads work great of any size up to 5M which is what I set the max upload to.
I had a similar problem when using different server software except my File Uploads were also affected.

Is it Windows maybe?

Any suggestions appreciated,
thanks

I added:
ENCTYPE = "MULTIPART/FORM-DATA"
to the form for editing files in fileman.cgi.
Right or wrong it works great.

This is the only thing that has not worked other than the error section correction as suggested in an earlier post.

Geocities file manager has nothing on this.
Except that their E-Z uploader has multiple file uploads.

Keep up the great work.

In the Fileman.cgi script, look for:

sub edit {
# ---------------------------------------------
# Begin Edit Text File Procedure:



About 44 lines below this is the form for file upload.

Change:

<form method=post action="$config{'script_url'}">

To:<form method=post ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" action="$config{'script_url'}">

That's it. Sorry for the late reply.
Hope this helps.
