[vamp]

Hi

I want to be able to 1) select a file (eg an excel doc) from my work PC and then 2) submit that file to my web site, to be stored and pulled down to my home pc at a later stage. So I also need to 3) be able to select that file from my web site and 4) pull it down to my home PC.

Ive tried a combination of input type "file" and "submit" but im getting jack.

and yes I know that emailing the file would be much easier ! If part 3 + 4 are too difficult then help with 1 + 2 still appreciated.

thanks

wouldn't it simply be easier to use an ftp program? it seems like that's a lot of work, just to have simple ftp functionality.

easier yes, but not what im looking 4. Thanks for the suggestion nonetheless.

ok, well you'll need to use a server side language for that such as PHP, Perl etc...

As redhead stated, we cannot really begin to hint at an answer until we know which serverside languages are supported by your host.

Ökii, Redhead - thanks for the reply, but it sounds like im getting myself way over my head - server side languages are all going to be Greek to me. Many thanks for your responses anyway - i think ill have to play with a submit - and attache combo to try and get the files to my server - probably using a mailto: AND then use an FTP to download - oh well the dreams of mice.....

thanks again
