File Uploader

JediMaster · 25-03-2004, 12:06

I am looking for a File Uploader to my site... I know NOTHING about PHP or anything fancy... But am good with HTML.

I want a Simple (but not a BASIC looking one) to allow ZIP & RAR files of up to 9MB MAX,

I have seen hotscripts.com & others.. But most are asking for CHMOD to 777 (How can I do this?) My Terapin NTL FTP cant CHMOD a Folder (Only a File) Is there a FREE Program on the Net that will allow me to CHMOD?

Cherrs..

PS... Where would I find a Downloader? *for a different site I want to use it on*
I was looking for a page with a BROWSE Button (you select a Directory) & it will download 5 RAR files to that location...

Any ideas? In basic Java or HTML?

Thanks.
I lookforward to the reply's.

Get rid of Terrapin, it's complete jank, download Filezilla, that'll allow you to set the file attributes (chmod)

Filezilla

(link in sig)

Jedi: Remote file upload requires server side scripting such as PHP, ASP or Perl.
It cannot be done by using a client side technology like HTML.

It has PHP...

I used SmartFTP to CHMOD to 777. But the Option CHMOD is NOT clickable if I select a Folder... Only Files

Any ideas?
& also any ideas on the Downloader???

If you can't change CHMOD on a folder, my guess is it's one of the root folders in your webspace? If that is the case you probably don't have permissions on them (ownership).

downloader? i thought you were asking for an uploader?

Also, it might be a windows based server, in which case, you can't CHMOD anything.

I was looking for a Uploader for 1 site... & a Java style Downloader for another

I wanted people to Click Browse, then select a LOCAL Folder on PC... Then click GO.

After the GO button. 5 RAR files (or ZIP) will be downloaded to that Folder.

Thanks..

PS, my friend was able to CHMOD my Folder OK. It works a treat

Cute FTP is a pretty simple program to use to up/download.

Have you got any examples of sites that use a Java donloader? The default security permissions for an applet does not allow access to the local harddrive, you would have to use Java web start and by that point it's easier just to ask visitors to choose 'rightclick and save-as...'

There is the Invision Power File Manager run on my computer to upload files remotely. Very easy to set up and configure, and runs on Windows and *nix (not tried it on the latter however).
