The Lowdown: Why We're Doing This

So, here's the deal. When you're exploring AspGoat, you'll come across the Unrestricted File Upload page. On this page, there's a link, and right now, it's leading to a 404 error – a classic "page not found" situation. That's a bummer, right? We want users to easily access the discussions related to this part of the project. To fix this, we need to update the link. This isn't just about fixing a broken link, it's about making sure everyone can quickly get to the discussions about the Unrestricted File Upload feature. This helps anyone looking for more info or wanting to chat about the feature. Keeping these links fresh and working is a small but important part of keeping the project user-friendly. By taking care of this, we're making sure everyone who uses AspGoat has a smooth and easy time. It also means that the project stays useful and accessible for all users, including those who are just starting out. Making these small fixes keeps the project feeling alive and well-maintained. It's a key part of good project management, ensuring that users can easily navigate the project resources.

Step-by-Step Guide to the Fix

Alright, let's get into the nitty-gritty of how to fix this. It's super simple, I promise! Here's what you need to do to correct the link and ensure that everyone can access the discussions without a hitch:

This step is about locating the specific area of the project that needs your attention. It's the central point where you'll make the necessary adjustment to update the link. It's the precise spot where the link in question is currently located.
3. Locate the FileFileUpload.cshtml: You will need a code editor to open the correct file, /Views/Home/FileUpload.cshtml. This file contains the HTML code for the Unrestricted File Upload page. Opening the correct file is crucial to make the necessary corrections. Using a code editor allows you to easily find and modify the specific line of code that needs adjustment. It helps you navigate the project's structure more efficiently.
4. Find the Anchor Tag: Once inside FileUpload.cshtml, look for the anchor tag (). This is the HTML element that defines a hyperlink. Locate the anchor tag that contains the word "development". This is the exact link that currently points to a 404 error page. Identify the anchor tag so that you can edit the link it contains. This will ensure that you modify the correct part of the file. You will know exactly which link is the target for the correction.
5. Change the Link: Replace the existing link with the correct one: https://github.com/Soham7-dev/AspGoat/discussions/78. This is the new destination. This action ensures that users are directed to the appropriate discussion page. The new link will direct users to the right discussion page, where they can find related information. It will make it easier for users to access the relevant discussions. This is the final step to make the fix. It updates the hyperlink, resolving the 404 error and improving the user experience.
