Directory space for web users Options

[Bingo1000]

Hi,
I’m just wondering if there’s a way to give end users a folder/space on my website they can add/edit files in.
The hosting provider I use facilitates a .htaccess which is great - I can use it for security and listing folders.
But a wish list scenario would be for the end user to access a folder like windows explorer to edit/add/delete files.
Or is there an alternative way of going about this?
Thanks

Create a folder. First thing you'll want to do is password protect it.

Put inside it an .htaccess file with Options +Indexes
This will give users access to files in that directory.

To give them the ability to upload files, you would need to create a file upload mechanism for that.
You could create a form that uses multipart/form-data

CODE

<form action="upload_file.php" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="file">Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

You'd need a simple php function to enable the upload.

Ok, thanks, that would work. It will cost me allot of time to get it right though (an easy to use folder structure), so I might do a bit of research for some online hosted service I can use first.
