uploading files

[Harvey]

What does it take to set up a website so that users can upload files onto the server themeselves? Without going through ftp that is.

I plan to use some kind of password system with htaccess or htpasswd or you know, apache password controled directories so just anyone can't do it but...

anyway, is this possible? basically what do i need to do to get this working? Thanks for any input!

php can do this very nicely.

i've written a larger scale version of this, but spent a few minutes making it just uploading (with password protection)

if you have any other questions, feel free to let me know.. fandelem@hotmail.com

cheers,

edit: btw, if you need a good PHP editor, i recommend PHPED (you can get it from my site as well, http://www.fandelem.com/phpedsetup.exe or any search engine with the keywords "phped" will bring you their website)

Thanks for the tip man, I'll try to implement that either tonight or tomorrow and I'll tell ya how it goes.

Is php the quickest way to get this going?
I wonder if apache has any built-in features to make this possible?

Havn't had much time to look around yet, but i'll get on it soon.
