You can't determine file size before uploading... *MAYBE* with some funky JavaScript?... > 2. how to read directory content with it's size, modes etc in win32 > and linux. win32 doesn't have modes, really... > 3. in what mode i should make directory for read/write permission > (not execute).

Just because a file isn't executable doesn't make it "safe". EG: If you let them upload a readable file that they can trick the browser into showing, and it contains PHP (or Perl, or JSP) code, they can execute *that*, even though it's not executable. I'm sure there are many, many other potential holes. -- Visit the Zend Store at http://www.zend.com/store/ Wanna help me out? Like Music?
