True enough, but once the file is uploaded, you can check it for type. I setup a test page on my web server using Web Connection that has the "file upload" html copied from the wwdemo program. After the user sends the file, I check to see if it has a jpg extension and if so, copy it where I want it and delete the original. You also can limit the size of the uploaded file, via Rick's program. I believe the default setting (Rick's code) is 500k.
