Button to upload a file

[sadicus]

What is the code to create a button that will allow a client to upload a file?

Link your text or button to Link > Link to File.

Ok, will try it, thanks!
I'm not trying to link to a file. I need a button that says "Upload your file" and it will allow them to select a file and upload it.

In order to be able to upload files to the server, you need to have a script created for this and authorization for FTP.
It's not as simple as making a button.

Sorry. I misread your question. Maybe Acorn will have a script or can point you to one.

sadicus, if you are asking, you do not understand the complexity of the ask.

Do you have the skills to implement something like this through a Xara design: https://www.script-tutorials.com/pur...5-file-upload/ ?
You still need PHP at the server to get it to where you want.

It might be cleaner to design around JotForms > Form > File Upload. Other third party widget exist.

Simplest, ask for the submitter to send an email attachment.

Good info, thanks!
Jot form or code, as long as it works. I'm just trying to learn how to get it to work in Xara.
The HTML5 code looks like it works, but more complicated than copy / paste code to xara?

This is the kind of thing i was doing years ago in Xara, we could copy code to a rectangle shape and it would work.
Where is a good place to tutorial how to get that code into xara?
