When setting up access to work off a server, it's important to ensure you have the necessary permissions to perform tasks like moving files and creating directories. This helps maintain organization and security across shared resources. If you're unsure about your permissions, it's always a good idea to check with your IT administrator or the server owner. They can assist in granting you the appropriate access levels so you can carry out your work efficiently and without any hitches. Friendly communication and cooperation in these matters ensure smooth collaboration and adherence to organizational guidelines, promoting a positive and productive working environment for everyone involved.

There are some data types that could store documents on sql server like blob, but I've never used them. I've always used a seperate file server/web server to store images/attachments, you can get a "file location" on the web server and just use that as the file location, most of the rest of the stuff should be the same.

Adam, I'm unsure what you mean by "file server" in this context. Can you expand on it a little? Would I ask WinHost.com to provide that? Also, how would the documents get to that location? I need a bit more explanation. Thanks!

It's basically just a web server for your files. Same thing as a normal server in your LAN but cloud based. One example I've used is Amazon Web Services(AWS), I think Richard uses Wasabi. You just set your files on it and you should be able to get a link to reach your document. You should be able to use that link in place of a network location in your database.

As far as how the files get there, kind of depends what you use and what types of files your putting up. The most basic way would be with FTP.
