Uploader

[Artifice]

I need to add an uploader to a web site. It only needs to be simple and what I need is to be able to allow Users to upload their own MP3 files (their copyright) to a folder on my server where I can then access them.

I am not a programmer, so is there anything easy and simple that will allow me to add this function with the least fuss and trouble.

I would rather not use PHP, unless I have to, so is there anything else? Any third party apps that can do this for me?

Thanks for your help,
Artifice

You'll need some type of server side language, if its not PHP, maybe ASP or Cold fusion etc... but something there to receive the upload, and manage it.

The HTML side of it is straight forward, as it would be just be a regular HTML form, with a file input to choose the file to upload.

<input type="file" name="mp3toupload">

With that said, we would need to know what server side language is supported on your web server if not PHP to suggest anything else.

You could always Google "file upload script" for many pre-made options in whichever programming language you have access to.

It only needs to be simple...

Is anything really simple?

Uploading files is a dangerous issue. Whatever solution you find should prevent others from uploading executables such as PHP or ASP scripts. It should prevent users from uploading excessively large files.
