Ok... Im not sure where this goes, but this seemed the most relevent forum for me to put it in.

this may be a really stupid question but;

I have a webspace and a domain which only has 1 FTP account, but i wish to set up a portal on it, and allow my users to access a set ammount of webspace to upload files too, so...

Are there any scripts I can install, which will allow users to upload to their own, personal directory, which is username / password protected, and automaticly created when they sign up, which would bypass the fact that i only have 1 ftp account?

Oh and another thing.... 1 that is FREE...

(I'm only a poor college student :( )

Try searching for PHP or ASP scripts that provide the necessary level of permissions and usability. Interfaces are also very unique.

Most of the scripts are free of charge and they are a great source of information when just learning.

are you on a shared host? it will be damn hard to do it if you are.

All those scripts usually do I think, is create a directory for the user and give them a file manager to access files in that directory.

cpanel can probably do it fro you but auth files are not to be stored under /home/yourusername (correct me if i'm wrong, maybe u can find it in /home/user/etc/shadow), you may be able to create a subdomain & a virtual ftp a/c with diferent login password but u can't make a script to do it for you LOCALLY, i thk the only u can do is to write a robot script to pretend human by loging in your cpanel a/c and hit the corresponding links

If you are on a dedicated box use:

If you are on a shared hosting:
easy file manager rocks

Hope it helps

IM on a ripoff merchant host (unlimited space and bandwidth) yeh i know there not unlimited, they have restrictions and stuff...

So im not the only user on there, I also have another webhosting account with anhosts.com, which gives me 500mb space 40gb transfer and access to cpanel to manage my site.

But what i want to do is allow people to sign up for say 10mb worth of space, so thats what i need the program for.
