looking for something for my server

[nageov3t]

not even sure where to start... I'm trying to find something that I could toss onto my unix* server (just a clunky little POS ded server I'm hosting via the web hosting company I work for because they were going to throw it in the trash) that would allow me to easily upload images through a website so I can not have to either ftp everything or navigate through an extensive CP when I just want to upload a pic to post on a forum.

*RHES5 if it matters

If you're wanting a control panel, Direct Admin at 30$ per month is lightweight, cheap, and powerful. Can also pay a one time 300$ fee for a lifetime license.

There's free ISPConfig, I know it works on Debian/Ubuntu/Suse/ CentOS/Fedora, never tried on RHES though.

There's also Webmin and Web-CP, which are both free.

If you want just a graphical way to control your own image uploads, try http://www.scripteen.com/scrip...ge-hosting-script.html

You could probably code something with php with a browse and upload button.

You can also find a free php/javascript class that lets you resize/crop etc. Been wanting to set something like this up for my blog as currently I do it all manually then upload. I want to just setup a general image space where I upload anything whether it gets posted on my blog or not. Easier when it's centralized, when it comes to backups, etc.

Just pictures? You could just setup gallery or other similar photo-host.

Something like a lightweight wiki or blog might be an easy option. Just make sure to lock it down and keep it patched.

Using Apache with the WebDAV module might be worth considering too. It think most OS's have it so you can add that as a "network place" kind of deal and drag-and-drop your files directly into a folder (though, come to think of it, you can probably do that with FTP too...).

Use Gallery, or ZenPhoto if it's just for images.

There are some scripts out there that will let you upload large files, and put them in an open directory to be shared on the net, if that's what you are looking for...they wont thumbnail the photos, it'll just be a directory.
