Is there a way that I can upload to a site with VDS via HTTP? I don't want to have to setup FTP for every user just to upload a file/image. The dir on the site will be set to CHMOD 777.
thanks

You'll need to setup a php/cgi script on the server end which can accept POST's, use VDSIPP and POST data to the form, post a file as well.
Setting CHMOD to 777 is a security risk if you are on a shared server, as most users on the system now have access to read the file. This is fine if it is not a file that contains passwords, etc. |

You don't by chance have an example CGI or PHP script that I could use? I am not good at CGI/PHP.
Thanks

Check out this PHP script for uploading to a server. You will need to create
a directory named "files" and chmod it to 777.
Hope this helps...
| Code: | <form name="form1" method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="imagefile">
<br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<?php
if(isset( $Submit ))
{
//If the Submitbutton was pressed do:
if ($_FILES['imagefile']['type'] == "image/gif"){
copy ($_FILES['imagefile']['tmp_name'], "files/".$_FILES['imagefile']['name'])
or die ("Could not copy");
echo "<br>";
echo "Name: ".$_FILES['imagefile']['name']."<br>";
echo "Size: ".$_FILES['imagefile']['size']."<br>";
echo "Type: ".$_FILES['imagefile']['type']."<br>";
echo "Copy Done....";
}
else {
echo "<br><br>";
echo "Could Not Copy, Wrong Filetype (".$_FILES['imagefile']['name'].")<br>";
}
}
?> </form> |

Thanks. I need it to be command line, so looking at it I can just modify it so I can pass the file name to the script, right?
upload.php?Submit="filename"

Oh, gotcha. Perhaps you could use a hidden browser element, or one placed
off the visible dialog box, load a form for submitting the file, then send to the
browser the file path and then submit to the script.
That's the only way I can think of off the top of my head right now.

I want to try automating sending a file to my site using vdsipp.dll or else with an auto-submitted form in a hidden browser element.
I don't know much HTML. In the example above, FF, is it supposed to be split into two files - the .HTM form and a PHP script? I'm confused about how to test it.

just a thought ... i use filezilla as my ftp program and it allows me to set up any number of ftp accounts by customer name ... uploading files for a specific customer is very easy ... 2 clicks to establish an ftp connection and then click and drag to upload the files

Thanks, but I need to do it via VDS. I ended up making an FTP account and using it. That project is on hold now anyway. Thanks again for the ideas.
