Jump to PostWhat do you mean by "upload"?
If you just want to display the picture, you will have to get a JPEG decompression library (QBasic can interface with DLLs that do this), and you will need to switch to a GUI mode to display it.
Jump to PostQBasic AFAIK never supported any networking related coding.
It's an arcane, unsupported, not even Y2K compliant, language that should be left dead and burried instead of trying to drag it up out of the tarpits of computing history to try and make it into a zombie.

I agree with your sentiment, but QuickBasic/QBasic/FreeBasic is far from dead. Perhaps something a little more useful to the OP would be in order?

I don't know. What does your opinion of QuickBasic languages [1] have to do with the OP's question?
[1] which are, QuickBasic, QBasic, and FreeBasic, the latest being proof that the QBasic language tree is not dead (even if it ought to be).
PS. Perhaps we ought to turn this into an "I hate BASIC" thread"? :-/

Bored, are we?
By displaying the picture file do you mean
- Displaying the textual name of the file on the screen?
- Displaying the graphical image in the file on the screen?

You don't understand. CUI mode excludes fancy graphics. You can't display an image in CUI mode. You need to change to a graphics mode to display the image.

I have no experience formatting a picture in QB but I can offer QB coding advice. I wrote many QB programs in DOS.
