asked how to accept a PDF via a file input, save it on disk, and store the path in a database. started a reply but didn’t include working code, and pointed to a free upload utility. The most reliable patterns are the same now as back then: (1) HTML form with multipart POST, (2) a server-side upload parser or component to get the file bytes, (3) strict validation (type, extension, size, PDF header), (4) save with a safe, unique filename, and (5) insert the relative path and metadata into the DB.

Use a simple HTML form like this:

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.asp">
  <input type="file" name="pdfFile" accept="application/pdf" />
  <input type="submit" value="Upload PDF" />
</form>

A practical Classic ASP server-side pattern (common with components such as Persits.Upload) — validate, generate a GUID-based filename, save the file, then persist the path:

<%
Set Upload = Server.CreateObject("Persits.Upload.1")
' iterate uploaded files
For Each f in Upload.Files
  If f.FileName <> "" Then
    ' quick validation (check extension + MIME)
    pos = InStrRev(f.FileName, ".")
    If pos = 0 Or LCase(Mid(f.FileName,pos+1)) <> "pdf" Then
      ' skip / log invalid file
    Else
      ' create GUID filename to avoid collisions
      Set g = Server.CreateObject("Scriptlet.TypeLib")
      ext = ".pdf"
      uniqueName = Mid(g.Guid,2,36) & ext
      Set g = Nothing

      f.SaveAs Server.MapPath("/uploads/" & uniqueName)
      savedPath = "/uploads/" & uniqueName

      ' save metadata (original name, saved path, date) using ADODB.Recordset or parameterized command
      Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
      rs.Open "SELECT FileName,FilePath,UploadDate FROM Files WHERE 1=0", conn, 2, 3
      rs.AddNew
      rs("FileName") = f.FileName
      rs("FilePath") = savedPath
      rs("UploadDate") = Now()
      rs.Update
      rs.Close
    End If
  End If
Next
%>

Notes and troubleshooting: always validate file content (check the first bytes for "%PDF"), limit upload size, sanitize or generate filenames, set write permissions for the application pool identity (not Everyone), and consider storing files outside the webroot and serving them through a controlled handler. Storing the relative path plus original name, MIME type and upload timestamp in the DB makes later management and cleanup easier.
