Re: ftp_put Problems

well, i suspect i am at a dead end. here is the layout of things. we want to put up an internet kiosk at certain thoroughbred auctions to allow people to send ecards as well as contact associates. we have a web cam on the kiosk and a partner came up with the idea of letting them send photos of themselves as well. the problem is i cannot find a way to use the form type FILE without giving the user access to everything on the kiosk computer. try as i might i cannot get around that "browse" button. so i thought i would try the ftp functions which i am totally unfamiliar with. i do truly appreciate the time you and others took to look into this. julian "Marek Kilimajer" <lists@kilimajer.net> wrote in message news:4155F8BD.6050202@kilimajer.net... > Julian wrote: >> i am trying to get a file from my local c drive to my server using >> something other than a form. > > Hmm, you can run an ftp server on your local machine and use php script on > the server to retrieve the files. http server will work just as well.
