SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to post a file to a server, using a client-side script, you may see the following error message:

The File Upload Control cannot publish your files because it could not interpret the PostInfo file on the server. You may wish to contact your server administrator or ISP and inform them of this problem.

This error occurs even with a valid PostInfo file on the server.



CAUSE
The client-side script is using the File Upload ActiveX Control (FlUpl.ocx), and the DestinationURL parameter in the IFlUpl.CreateTempBinding or IFlUpl.CreatePermBinding method call refers to a destination URL that does not begin with "http://" or "ftp://".



RESOLUTION
Edit the contents of the client-side script and precede the destination URL parameter with "http://" or "ftp://".



MORE INFORMATION
The following example causes the error message:  Sub InitializeControl FlUpl1.CreateTempBinding "my_server", "{8B14B770-748C-11D0-A309-00C04FD7CFC5}" End Sub  Adding "http://" or "ftp://" to the destination server name corrects the error:  Sub InitializeControl FlUpl1.CreateTempBinding "http://my_server", "{8B14B770-748C-11D0-A309-00C04FD7CFC5}" End Sub
