File transfer plug in error

I get a "File Transfer plug in error" when I try to open any file from the web browser for file located on the web server. See exact error below:

File Transfer Plugin Error:
Plugin cannot be initialized. Please make sure that the components required by the plugin is installed on the server.

Any help is appreciated.

Is the plugins folder, with that component infact in the correct place... If it is in a different place than it came packaged you will need to change the path in the "Config.asp" page. Its toward the bottom. Also, Not sure byt I doubt that is the problem since you ARE getting an error message sent from that plugin. Are you sure that the file transfer component is installed on the server you are running it on?

When you say "installed" I thought I simply had to drag
the folder to my wwwroot and then access the .asp from my browser. What am I missing here.

thks for the help.

You're correct there. But unless you change the path to that plug-in within the config.asp file you must keep it in the SAME place as it was in the .zip file.

What OS is this running on? And what version of IIS.. Or is it IIS at all? Tell me about the server.
Travis Howle 6/10/2004 3:10 PM
Server is a Windows NT
It's running on IIS 4
buddiv 6/10/2004 4:15 PM
Also, I got it work fine on my local system which is
Win2k and IIS 5.0
buddiv 6/10/2004 4:20 PM
Okay, Do you have the latest MDAC Component?

get it here: http://www.microsoft.com/data

You need 2.5 or higher


Also you need MWS 5.1 or greater

Get it here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?url=/downloads/sample.asp?url=/msdn-files/027/001/733/msdncompositedoc.xml


Tell me if this fixes it.

...... On NT4 System
Travis Howle 6/10/2004 4:23 PM
Oh..ok.
Well I won't be able to update any files. I'm not owner of the server. 

Thks for the help.
buddiv 6/10/2004 4:51 PM
Okay, Sorry. If you need anything you can contact me on MSN Messenger @ intel_chips@hotmail.com
Travis Howle 6/10/2004 5:01 PM
Hi,
Travis, thanks for your replies.
Buddiv, this plugin error is caused by the absence of MDAC 2.5+ , it is listed as a requirement on the product page.
