Simple upload script. :)

Hey guys,

I have a guy that is pretty noobish when it comes to computers and he has a 11mb file that I need to get from him. His ISP doesnt allow him to send that big of a file, and i'm sure he doesnt even know what FTP is. 🙂 Sooooo, can someone give me a link to a script (like PHP) that i can upload to my host and he can just go there, browse the file, and click upload. I want something that is ALREADY essentially setup for this exact thing. Nothing super fancy, with like registrations, username and passwords, yadda yadda. Just a simple, click browse > find file > click upload > wait > done. 🙂 Thanks.
 
set yourself up an ftp....send him an email containing a hyperlink to the ftp with password and user details...get him to click on the link...that should open his default browser and tell him to drag and drop the file.....simple as that!!

I am presuming the upload limit is for email?

or get the noob onto MSN or similar and get him to send you the file that way.

hope this is helpful
 
Not an upload script for your server per say, but you want to talk about simple. send the user to:
http://www.yousendit.com/

Basically he uploads the file here and at the same time it sends you an email with a link to where you can download that file. After 7 days they delete the file.

Looks pretty simple. Now might not be secure if it is a document of a sensitive nature, but for 90% of the files being transferred looks like a pretty easy way to do it!

If you really want a script to do it. Check out Hotscripts for a boatload of upload scripts.

Here is the directory of php driven upload scripts:

They range from simple non authenticated ones to user/password systems.

Good Luck!
