Yeah, as I told Jerry, I've done this before with a C program I wrote.
Was wondering if there was a better way as far as this option is
concerned. It's really the managing of the user's files when they log
onto the website that I've got problems figuring out. Uploading and
moving to appropriate directory (e.g., /home/'user'/files), then
browsing them for downloading again, etc.
Thanks for help,
