Hi there,

Not sure if this is the right forum to ask, but hopefully someone may help anyway.

I am designing and developing a website for my client. The business they are in is, restoring photographs to there original quality. They want the user to be able to upload there photos to them, but not using an email service, using FTP, so that it does not go into their email, but what other way can they recieve the photo other than email? If anyone can help, that would be very much apprecited.


Thanks

Edd

Since this forum is dedicated to the programming language PHP, I'll give a PHP answer.

You can use HTTP file uploads

You could also use PHP's FTP functions...

I don't think PHP's FTP functions would help here. PHP's FTP functions allow PHP to be an FTP client, but this application looks to me like it would require the web server to be an FTP server.

Hi again,

Thanks for you reply's, but still unsure what to do.
The client want the user to use an FTP program to send their photos to them, but the photo may go straight into the image editing software (photoshop), is the acheivable?

Thanks

provided your client has a web-facing FTP server, PHPs FTP functions still look about right to me. Sleipnir explained why.

Really I think this needs a clarificationtho.

Customers send photos to the business (your client).
The Business receive photos :
Directly ?
From an internet FTP server?
From a machibe on their network acting as an FTP server?

Would the photos need to be uploaded to the web site server first, or could the web-site be an FTP client of theBusiness's own FTP server, allow discreet direct cnnection from the public?

Are the public expeced to use a 3rd party FTP program to upload the files or would PHP's FILE UPLOAD functions suffice?

so many questions....
