I'm planning to add alot more contents to my site. Probably a whole lot of manga downloads. The problem is I got no clue how to upload large files and make a download section for guests to download off since I only have 5 ftp user accounts max. how? n how protect?
If your files are .exe, .zip, .gz etc, anyone can download them and it will not need a ftp connection. As far as uploading, you can use a php script to upload files to a directory on the website. One thing that you need to be careful of is that you have to set permissions on the directory to allow writing which can be a security concern. Here's a good script for multiple file uploads. http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/PHP/Creating-a-MultiFile-Upload-Script-in-PHP/
I would have thought joomla, (i think thats what ur using) would have came with some kind of download mod.. anyway i found this which maybe of some use to you.. Good luck with your site.. Its coming on well.
I think out of this whole forum, your the most supportive person here. I actaully installed http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,102/Itemid,35/ its a componenet, and it seems to be worknig well so far. I just need to change the script runtime so it wont time out. Thanks for your support!
