web based ftp?

[ziggytrix]

No, not a web based ftp CLIENT. I wanna know how to go about installing a simple file upload interface to a web page, like the php script used in the mockwars. I don't know php, and I barely know perl, so I could probably hack something together, but I have no idea how secure or usable it would be.

Does anyone have any experience with a premade package or script that is reliable and secure, even for fairly large files? And does it handle resumes if the transfer times out?

Security is my biggest concern, this is for our business website, so the last thing I want is to find out some jerk has uploaded a script and hijacked our website.

Doesn't the company you work for have someone to do this? And if you don't know anything about making a safe ftp, why are they asking you to do this?

[ziggytrix]

We're a small business with 4 employees. I'm the only one with any web dev experience.

To make a safe FTP, I'd prefer to set up some sort of SSH FTP server, but we need to receive files from a client who is not a small business, and whose IT department keeps every fricken port but 80 locked down, I think.

php is really easy to learn, and uploading files is especially easy.

I am not sure how good the security is.

but just check out some of the file upload functions at php.net, they are very easy to use.
