Allow customer to upload data

How do you allow someone to upload a file to your server

[rise2it]

Hi,

Anyone have any idea where to get something (java applet?) that can be embedded into a webpage, so that when someone clicks on it, they can 'browse' their harddrive for a file, then have it automatically uploaded to your server?

I've found a few programs to do that, priced from a few hundred to thousands of dollars! Anyone know of a better way?

Better than my explanation above, here's something that kinda does it...

Does your server have support for server side scripting such as PHP/ASP?
If so, you can find heaps of free scripts just by doing a search for something like "upload script php".

PHP.

Start with:

<input type = "file" enctype = "multipart/form-data" name = "upload"/>

Which will allow the browse.

Many resources on the web and in print to accomplish this for free.
