How to upload directly from a web browser, a'la idrive, freedrive, etc

[bubba]

I am looking into how to make a web interface for uploading/downloading files from a server. This would be something like idrive where you can hit upload/download and you get a normal dialogue box that ask you where to get/put a file. This would be for the college I work at to assist in file transfer for the normal user, for whom FTP is much too difficult.

Is there an easy way to do this? Is there a script? Any HOWTOs or the like?

Thanks all!

One thing a search engine can't do is put a nice smiley face after the results....
