Allowing other people to upload things onto my site?

[Rashelly]

This is rather hard to explain.
I know how to set up accounts for other people to upload files from an FTP client, but is it at all possible to create accounts to let people upload files to a folder of my choice without the need of an FTP client?
Not sure if I explained that very well.
Currently using LC-hosting.com, which uses c panel 10 (If that helps at all).
Thanks in advance for any help given.

So basically a file uploader?


Edit: If its a file upload use this which i got from tech tuts but i customised it a bit.

Create a file called upload.php, then put this into it and save:



<?php
$upload_name = "File Uploader";
$upload_dir = "folderforfilestogo/";
$num_files = "1";
$size_bytes = "2000000";
$limitedext = array(".gif",".jpg",".jpeg",".png",".txt",".htm",".html",".zip",".rar", ".psd",);
?>


Now save that, now create a folder called something like files, uploads etc in the directory you saved the 2 files in and in uploadconnect.php edit '$upload_dir = "folderforfilestogo/";' to the folder you want to files to go to.

Once done that, CHMOD the folder that the files will go to, to 777 and it should work!

Good luck

Could you possibly PM me the exact scripts that you have on the uploader? (The one that works) I tried doing it on www.rashelly.com/uploader the form seems fine, and the connect file was copied exactly from techtuts (http://techtuts.com/?view=tutorials&act=tutorial&id=169) - I try to test it, no error messages appear, but the files don't appear in the folder?

There's a reason why I'm not a web designer.
