Getting files up to the server!

How to do it, other than FTP?

[pashley]

I'm building a gaming site, in Joomla.

There isn't a real good solution in Joomla to do what I want - upload large .zip files...as big as 65MB.

I've tried screwing around with my admin - I have a VPS, but still, the Joomla way doesn't seem to work.

Anyhow, Joomla can also have HTML brought into it, and I was wondering if someone could suggest some sort of script, CGI, or whatever, that I could use to pseudo-FTP a file up to the server. There has to be a way!

I just want to be able to have people upload files to my server, so I can then put them in the right spot in the "library".

Can someone shine some light on this for me? I'm getting awfully frustrated....!

Yes, there are basic scripts for this sort of activiy without using FTP. The basic form element can be adapted to include the input type=file attribute, which allows the user to select a file for upload.

The back end is a littl tricky as you need to handle that file, but there are plenty of web resources on how to handle that.
