Is It Possible To Set Up An Ftp Drop Box?

[pix]

I want to let people upload contributions via ftp, without being able to see the other contributions? Is that possible? I tried creating a user ftp account and then setting the permissions to that folder to only "write". That hid the contents from the user, but it also hides it from me, the owner/administrator.

 

Is there a way to do this?

 

TIA

The only way you would be able to do this is with an upload script where they upload through the browser.

 

Check hotscripts.com for an upload script ot you can try this one.

Thanks for the reply. Looks like upload_lite is tested for files up to 36 MB and we'll need to handle larger (video) files.

 

Would this workaround work? I set the permissions to only "write" for the drop folder, and once in a while, I change them back to "read" so I can see what's there and move them out?

Theoretically yes.

Theoretically yes.

 

Thanks. Will go with it. A little of a management overhead but easy to implement.
