Normally I upload my web contents to the place through ftp (with userid and password). I want to create a site where surfer can upload files to my site through web interface. If you care, you can run http://greenfield.heha.net/phtest/helloworld.php to see some php envir about the site. If it's not possible for surfers to up files on this site, I may have to find another host.
