Single file upload mechanism

[Beavis]

So, I have this one friend that wants to update a single file on my website once a month. That's not a big problem, however I would like him to be able to do it himself without giving him full access to my web space or create another user account.

IS it possible to create a simple HMTL forms page (maybe CGI ) that would allow him to upload one file and have it placed within a certain directory on my site ??

So for instance, he could click on "browse button" , choose the file, then click on upload and it would upload that file to my web site. But that file only - so maybe have a security check that the filename has to match my specific info to prevent lamers from uploading whatevery they want to my site.

Any ideas ?? Is it possible ??

Ok..the front end and security work good, but what about the backend. It appears to be calling a file in my CGI directory, but what file should be there.

I don't understand CGI too well.

Go to www.hotscripts.com and select php scripts then look under file management/uploaders

I installed one yesterday called "php upload centre" which seems to be the biz. Only thing it won't do is upload by directory/contents/subdirs
