Query about ftp/uploading

[runner]

Hi,

I'm probably too lazy to find out the best way to do this but I'm sure there is an easy way.

I wish to allow a third party access to some file space to upload some data. Lets say I get hold of one of those free web hosting services, create a directory, now what do I need to put in the HTML page to allow someone to do a ftp upload?

Thanks

Ian

edit...re my previous response - what a load of nonsense....to do file upload best is to use a serverside component. some free spaces will allow that, not many. .NET has inbuilt classes you can use.

search google for "perl file upload" and install it on a perl-supported webhost. a simple form will allow a user to upload a selected file

use standard form uploading facility via HTTP,lots of scripts for this, PHP supports its natively.
