What exactly did that do?
Did you enable "anonymous ftp" ?
That means that anyone is able to connect by ftp and their uploads go to a
specific folder in the private root level of your hosting, in most cases
If you want an html webpage that allows file uploads to the server- What
server-side scripting can be used on this hosting?

2. Re: How to add ftp capability to website
CathyInMichigan Sep 30, 2008 5:11 PM (in response to CathyInMichigan)It's a very full-featured hosting company so I'm sure the scripts are available. I just don't know what to ask for! I have set up the ftp capability for the site, created folders for my users to upload to, separate from my site files, enabled anonymous ftp. I just don't know how to start putting the upload facility on the site.
Is it just using an ftp://username:password@domainname.com in the address bar? I'd really like them to go to a page that has a login and file browse feature. Is that too complicated? -

That's more difficult - those are pages you'd have to create in DW.

What is it that You or the Client want this to work like?
If it is something like clients uploading print job files to a press site-
the norm is an anon ftp with anon ftp uploading. Directory browsing turned
off and file permissions denying downloads...
if you want username/passwords and file upload/download- Find out WHAT
server side scripting can be used on this hosting [look at the sales or
support pages for the package you are renting] then go to
http://hotscripts.com and look in that flavor of scripting for a File
Management script app that does 95% or better of what you need.
