HI, first things first, I'm new to this board, so hello, my name is OldSchool (Daniel)

Now for the question...

Using text box, browse button and upload button, be able to upload a file using FTP from a flash page.

For example, user clicks browse button, dialog appears, they choose the file (the dialog similar to the MS Common Dialog box), click ok, file path and name shown in input box, user clicks upload, and its the file is uploaded to [ip address] from the flash application.

Anybody know where to start? PHP backend was mentioned but they just ended in a big whoosh over my head....

Thanks in advance

Go to Flashkit.com and look for something called 'yamzbrowser'.

It's not FTP, its POST via HTTP, and pretty complex when you implement the server side from scratch (been there, ugh!). Bu I'm sure flash has prepared routines to do this for you.
