You can use a form with one or more upload fields. You can limit the file type to only be jpg or gif so there will be no virus risk. Once uoloaded, you can view the files and approve them, so you can accept them and actually put them on your website or not.

Have a look at http://www.navaldesign.info/feedback13.html The upload field is the last one, at the bottom. If you like such a form, create one in BV, upload it, provide me the URL, and iìll send you the script. In the mean time, have a look at the script structure at http://www.vodahost.com/vodatalk/for...html#post11943

Re: ftp (navaldesign look in)

Re: ftp (navaldesign look in)

That's excactly what this form does. Allows your visitor to browse in his computer for a file, and then it upload the pic in a folder in your public_html. It is a form anyway, even if there are no other fields. A form like this can be built in Dreamweaver though i don't know the program. Otherwise you can build a page in BV and link it to rest of your site.

First of all, do you have a vodahost account?

[navaldesign]

Re: ftp

If you do, you start by reading this: http://www.vodahost.com/vodatalk/blu...out-forms.html

If you don't don't have a Vodahost account, BV can't publish on other companies' servers

When you have your form ready, publish it and let me know the URL. I'll have a look and prepare a script for you. You will only have to upload it on your server. Please set the form acrion in "upload.php" before you publish

[jabie5]

Re: ftp

right i have published it its on the main page if you click on upload pics you will see the page created in bv



as to your comment "Please set the form acrion in "upload.php" before you publish" i double clicked the form and typed "upload.php" into the action box i hope this is correct can i PM you with my url


thanks
