FTP upload help

[Wookie Sloth]

What I want is to allow select users to be able to upload a file with no understanding of ftp, html or any computer knowledge so all they have to do is click on a browse button, find the file on their computer and when selected the file to be uploaded with its already given name (if possible an advance version where they can change the subject name but not the text file name), with the file being uploaded on the same page (like a blog just without the comments/content so the newest is first to be viewable) if easier the file to be uploaded on a different page.

The file will be uploaded onto the ftp server so that a different user will be able download/veiw the file. I'm guessing there will have to be a hidden field containing the FTP server name, username and password to make the upload possible.

Any help will be very much appreciated, post on this chitCHAT or email me at isaacpawley@blueyonder.co.uk

Are you talking about an actual FTP site where people will have to login via FTP to view the files once they have been uploaded, or will they be able to view it in a browser using the HTTP protocols, like a photo gallery or something?

They will be able to veiw the file on a browser using http protocols, eg.

name of page = usefulDocuments.htm and some where in that page will be the file/s eg medical.txt or insurance.txt.

And yes they will enentually have to login some where or be already logged in without their knowledge, hidden fields or something. More safer if they have to enter the ftp username and password to stop unwanted spam
