Holiday Greetings!

Ummmmm scenario is centos 4.5 standard apache webserver

I have a client that is really struggling with website file upload concepts.

Ive been googling for some scripts or other programs that allow uploading of files to proper directory(ies) after authentication

I am definitely concerned about security issues of course.

I have never implemented this before because everyone I have ever given a web address, a login, a password, and directory structure understood what was going on.... till now...

Would someone consider and please share url's or other info about what solutions they have implemented for the website upload technically challenged?

We do not mind paying if we need to get something that also helps create excellent yet basic websites on the fly too.

Thanks!

I'm absolutely brand new at that but successfully put this

up in just a couple hours, using NVU. It seems that the author has moved on to Composer, but there are RPMs for us (I'm on a fully updated CentOS 4.x AMD Athalon box).

It seems very user friendly and is a fairly complete "suite" that includes WYSIWYG (and raw) editing and has a "Publish" function that only requires you to enter the source/destination URLs (URIs?).

The start of reading up all you might is here

and reasonable docs are here

and the rpm for us is here (it's wrapped)

I hope this is useful.
