FTP Upload

What language are you using? What languages do you have access to? I'd use ASP .NET to make a web app that would easily do it.

Assuming you can only use HTML: Have you tried a link that uses ftp rather than http? Most browsers support some type of FTP.
The syntax is something like this (it may be a little off though):
ftp://[username]:[password]@your-domain-name.com

Hopefully this will at least get you started.
 
I'm not sure if it's any help, but here's some kind of uploader script, with a progress bar even, written using PHP and perl. Mega Upload. Obviously requires that your host support PHP and perl.

And a Multiple file uploader, also written in PHP.
 
ok, someone's listening :)

it might help if i tell you what i want (because i have no real idea of the solution)


basically, its a photo retouching website so i need a way for customers to upload there images to me. i would like them just to be able to click 'choose file' and then click 'upload' and it to be send to me and stored by my host

how would i go about that? (talk to me like a baby ;) )
 
<form method=post name=upform action="/cgi-bin/some-script.cgi" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type=file name=uploadfile>
<p>
<input type=button name="Submit" value="Submit" onclick="LimitAttach(this.form, this.form.uploadfile.value)">
</form>
</center>


looks like i still have to have something in the cgi bin.... any idea what?

Sorry about that. I guess I should have read all the code before posting. :eek:
 
Yeah you need script.js on your webserver too :)

Instead of hasseling with a progress bar, change the following in your upload.php file

PHP: 
		<input type="button" value="Send" onClick="postIt();">
		<!-- uncomment the following to test with out the progress bar -->
		<!input type="submit" value="Send">

to

PHP: 
<!-- 
<input type="button" value="Send" onClick="postIt();"> 
-->
		<!-- uncomment the following to test with out the progress bar -->
		<input type="submit" value="Send">

Make that file executable. Within telnet/ssh session it would be
Code: 
chmod 755 /home/algodden/public_html/retouchartists.com/cgi-bin/progress.cgi

Or your webhost may have a gui with which you can do the same. Finally some FTP clients allow you to set permissions as well. Basically make sure Owner has read/write/execute, Group has read/execute, and Other has read/execute.

Probably the easiest way of changing the permissions of a file that you have uploaded is with your FTP client.

I use Cyberduck (get it, it's free).

1. Connect to the FTP site where you upload your files to.
2. Go into the cgi-bin directory
3. Click once on the file progress.cgi
The next three steps are probably specific to Cyberduck but I'm sure your FTP client will have a similar way of doing things
4. Do a File->Get Info (Command I)
5. In the Dialog Box, Check all 3 boxes for 'Owner', and Read and Execute boxes for 'Group' and 'Others'
6. Click 'Apply'

Hopefully that will get you a bit further.
