HTML forms have a file element these days to facilitate file uploads for individual files. You might browse (by delegation) sorceforge.net for PHP content management software: I know there are packages there. mostly building on php. There's also a template system for php which you can find from php.net: I think it's called smarty. -- Cheers John.

You can set up a Samba share. There's also Filezilla, which is a nice Windoze/gui FTP client that supports sftp, for the paranoid drag-n-drop crowd. -Original Message- From: Adam Thornton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 1:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LINUX-390] How to simplify uploads of text and files to web server?

Re: How to simplify uploads of text and files to web server?
To make thing easier for our web content managers, and satisfy the security folks, we use a program called WinSCP2. This uses the SCP function of OpenSSH. Each uploader needs a valid userid and password/private_key and appropriate authorization to the directories. I, as the sysadmin/root can upload to anywhere and set ownership/permissions as needed. WinSCP2 gives the windows user a nice two-pane (local/remote) directory/file list for selection or dragdrop use. It is FREE. http://winscp.sourceforge.net/eng/ /Thomas Kern /301-903-2211 -Original Message- From: Dave Myers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 13:40 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to simplify uploads of text and files to web server?

Re: How to simplify uploads of text and files to web server?
Craig, You bring up a good point. But if AOL were to drop Netscape, users would still have an alternative since Netscape is built on the Mozilla browser architecture, which is separate from AOL (iirc). Peter I.
