I want to upload an image of my cat stored in my "My Pictures" folder. While the webserver is at it, it also grabs my pic. Or I want to upload a fanfic in the My Documents folder, and my business plan gets ripped. Or how about this: if you allow recursive directory scanning, if I upload something from the root of C: you could scan the contents of my entire HDD. --Ben ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
