need more detailed instructions

[viscomkid]

hello,

I am not a programmer and I'm having lots of trouble understanding the instructions. See the .png and let me know if you need more information.

You need instructions to install the JBatchUpload applet ?
First question, do you plan HTTP or FTP transfer ?
- If FTP then the file where you have to setup parameter is applet_ftp_batchupload.js
- If HTTP then the file where you have to setup parameter is applet_http_batchupload.js

And the file you have to open in your browser is:
- If FTP then the file where you have to setup parameter is applet_ftp_batchupload.html
- If FTP then the file where you have to setup parameter is applet_http_batchupload.html

What do you see in your browser when the applet loads ?

[viscomkid]

I see the page that has the blank box with the red X in it, and some instructions telling the user to edit the text on the page.

Red X means the applet cannot be loaded. Could you share an URL where I could see the applet ?
You can send it to support(at)jfileupload(dot)com

Thanks for the URL, I've checked it. The applet loads fine (you might forget to close/restart your browser before testing modifications).

Now, the error you get on upload comes from "URL" parameter not setup. If you look at JavaScript you will see the following lines:
...
document.write('url="http://localhost:8080/upload/process.jsp" ');
...
document.writeln('<PARAM NAME="url" VALUE="http://localhost:8080/upload/process.jsp">');
...
You need to setup "url" parameters with an upload script installed on your server.
We provide a few ones for free at:

To select one, you have to know which technology your server provides (JSP, PHP, ASP ...).

ok two things with this:

1) the scripts require adjustments to a servlet engine, but I'm not seeing any folders that are similar to what is describe in the installation instructions.

2) We are hosting our own Web site, and I'm not sure how to tell which technology the server provides, and no one else in the company (we're extremely small) would know the answer.

The applet seems to load properly but when I try to upload something, it says authentication failed.

Applet can work with JSP, PHP, PERL/CGI and ASP upload script. Free sample or such scripts are available at: http://www.jfileupload.com/products/tools/index.html
Most web server provide PHP support so make a test with the PHP script. If you really don't know how to choose then drop an email to support(at)jfileupload(dot)com with access to your server and we could check it.
