I could not get the SlideTest code to compile as listed in this article. Here are the corrections I made to get it to compile: Instead of import org.apache.util.httpURL;, I used import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpURL; Instead of hrl.setUserInfo("user", "pass");, I used hrl.setUserinfo("user", "pass"); With these changes the code to get a file compiled and ran properly. I could not get the code for uploading a file to work. wdr.putMethod(fn) returns a boolean. When getting a file getMethod(fn) returns true, but when trying to upload a file putMethod(fn) always returned false. After lots of hair pulling and searching FAQs and the Slide mailing list I was able to get it to work as follows: String filename = "myLocalFilename"; File fn = new File(filename); String path = wdr.getPath() + "/" + filename; boolean rslt = wdr.putMethod(path,fn); Hope this is helpful. Now on to more complex stuff... - Mark

  All the examples in the article worked when the article was published.
  
  Could it be you were using the newer version of Slide that was released in June 2004 ?
