Thanks to all...

Holy heck!

I just checked the mail and there were a pile of comments to my post about tech support and PHP, and I'm figuring, "Hey, probably everyone's telling me that my script problem has a trivial solution..."

Nope.

The content was much better.

Thanks, all.

Cheers...

(P.S. for [livejournal.com profile] bandicoot: The script allows people to upload files directly to a directory I maintain on my web site's server. This bypasses e-mail, which often gets stodgy if attachments grow past 2 MB in size, not to mention that my current dial-up connection is so slow, my mail server will normally time out before I can fetch a 2-MB attachment from it.)

That's what I was wondering. Why is the script better than something like CuteFTP, CoffeecupFTP or one of the other free FTP programs?

My script requires access to a Web browser, which most people have installed on their machines already and whose use intimidates relatively few people. The programs you mention generally require people to go find them, install them, and learn how to use them, and all of that would be a waste, since my web site provider does not allow anonymous ftp uploads.

Take a look at
