[CentOS] file or website upload scripts / programs and security protection

2007-12-14 Thread Robert - elists
Holiday Greetings!

Um scenario is centos 4.5 standard apache webserver

I have a client that is really struggling with website file upload concepts.

Ive been googling for some scripts or other programs that allow uploading of
files to proper directory(ies) after authentication

I am definitely concerned about security issues of course.

I have never implemented this before because everyone I have ever given a
web address, a login, a password, and directory structure understood what
was going on till now...

Would someone consider and please share url's or other info about what
solutions they have implemented for the website upload technically
challenged?

We do not mind paying if we need to get something that also helps create
excellent yet basic websites on the fly too.

Thanks!

 snip sig stuff

I'm absolutely brand new at that but successfully put this

   http://home.triad.rr.com/wildbill/

up in just a couple hours, using NVU. It seems that the author has moved
on to Composer, but there are RPMs for us (I'm on a fully updated CentOS
4.x AMD Athalon box).

It seems very user friendly and is a fairly complete suite that
includes WYSIWYG (and raw) editing and has a Publish function that
only requires you to enter the source/destination URLs (URIs?).

The start of reading up all you might is here

http://www.nvudev.org/

and reasonable docs are here

http://www.nvudev.org/guide/pdf/nvuug10r1.pdf

and the rpm for us is here (it's wrapped)

http://www.nvudev.org/download/linux/1.0/nvu-1.0-
RedHat_and_Fedora/nvu-1.0-1.rhel4.fs.i386.rpm


I hope this is useful.

Rather than open up directories, you might want to have a look at
typolight.org, or typo3.org. They have some decent stuff which allows
just about anyone of any skillset to create a web page. Those are by
no means the only options, and you may want to have a look at
http://www.opensourcecms.com/

They have a number of options there which you can 'try before you buy'.

helpful for general information is here.
