Uploading script

Post by fwc »

Hi, I was wondering if you guys knew of a good uploading script that was free. All the ones I tried, were either paid or not working. Ok thanks.

There have been so many posted on the forums. At the end of the day, many worked. Did you search?

Yea but I don't know what key words to use. If I just type uploading script, I get back dozens of random results.

Check out the results then.

What features of an uploading script are you looking for? Where have you looked so far?

Sorry, I asked one of my friends, and what he told me was that I needed a file manager. Unfortunately, all the ones I download have login pages. Is this always there on file managers?

Using a file manager which doesn't require authentication is extremely unsafe as you pretty much open up your entire server to anyone who can access the right URL. Are you sure this if what you want? :?
How do you wish to authenticate yourself if not by a login page? By passing some password in the query string?

We have been struggling with creating an Upload script for PublicPIM and my guys are indicating that perhaps the best way is to upload as .zip and extact on server using php and ftp.

What exactly do you need this upload script to do? If it is just uploading, then the example on php.net will work. I just posted an example of an uploader a few days ago.

If you are looking for file management as well, then there are a lot of other questions to ask about that.

Upload script

Post by jamesmorr »

When user downloads our .zip files My thought is that they might want to add something to the extracted directories and files to be uploaded to their website.
The fellow creating our script tells me that the upload would have to be done file by file which seems wrong when I can do a drag n drop ftp with IE6. Seems to me script just automates that which my goal with making an install easier for end-users. There are some chmoding that needs to be done also which I understad PHP 5.0 will do.
Anyhow just trying to make everyone's live a little simpler.
